About This Project

Design Overview

Manufactured to order, this spacious design encompasses 30m² of interior space within 7.8m x 4.3m external walls. The 70mm glue-laminated timber walls frame an internal volume of 7.5m x 4.0m with 2535mm sidewalls and a ridge height of 3640mm under the apex (gable) roof. Fenestration comprises 2 windows and 2 doors arranged per the specified floor plan, all beneath a 16.0° apex roof covering 40.4m². No off-the-shelf components are used in this log cabin; every element is cut and machined to the project-specific measurements, delivering a truly bespoke result for the dealer and their end client.

Why This Configuration

The apex (gable) roof provides balanced aesthetics with symmetrical slopes meeting at a central ridge, creating a classic silhouette that integrates well with residential surroundings. At just 16.0°, the low-profile roof minimises visual impact, an advantage where planning height limits apply.

At 70mm, the wall thickness meets the thresholds commonly required for year-round habitable structures, supporting insulation upgrades and Building Regulations compliance where needed.

The 2 windows are positioned to balance natural light with wall space for furnishing flexibility. The double-door entry creates a generous opening that accommodates furniture delivery, wheelchair access, and commercial foot traffic, adding versatility to the building’s potential use.

The elongated 7.8m x 4.3m floor plate suits linear layouts such as studios, workshops, or multi-zone interiors where distinct activity areas benefit from physical separation.

Materials & Construction

The 70mm glue-laminated (glulam) wall profiles used in this design are engineered for dimensional stability. Unlike conventional sawn timber, glulam undergoes kiln-drying and cross-grain lamination that virtually eliminates warping, twisting, and settlement over time. Each profile is precision-milled to tight tolerances, ensuring clean airtight joints across every wall section. This engineered approach delivers consistent thermal performance and a refined, contemporary finish that solid log cannot match.

The floor system comprises 40x60mm pressure-treated bearers supporting 28mm tongue-and-groove floorboards. This combination provides a rigid, level deck capable of handling furnishing loads, underfloor insulation, and finished flooring overlays as required by the end user.

The roof structure is carried on 11 purlins of 70x130mm section, covered with 19mm boards to form a total roof area of 40.4m². The deck is supplied ready for the dealer’s choice of final covering—EPDM rubber membrane, bitumen shingles, or standing-seam metal are popular options that Eurodita can advise on.

At 70mm, the wall profile is significantly thicker than the industry-standard 44mm used in most flat-pack garden buildings. This provides measurably better thermal insulation, acoustic separation, and structural rigidity — making the building suitable for year-round habitation without additional insulation in temperate climates.

All timber is sourced from FSC-managed Nordic forests and kiln-dried to 16–18% moisture content before machining, ensuring dimensional accuracy and resistance to biological degradation on arrival.

Customisation Options

Every parameter of this 30m² design is open to modification. Eurodita operates as a pure bespoke manufacturer: the project shown here is a starting point, not a fixed product.

External dimensions can be adjusted freely—the current 7.8m x 4.3m footprint is not a constraint. Wall thickness can move up or down from 70mm across the full range (28mm to 220mm), and the wall profile can switch between solid log, glulam, or double-wall insulated construction.

The apex (gable) roof shown here can be changed to any supported type (apex, pent, or hip), and the pitch adjusted to suit local planning or aesthetic preferences. Sidewall height, ridge height, and overhang dimensions are all variable.

Window and door positions, sizes, types, and quantities are fully configurable. Glazing can be specified as standard double-glazed (45mm) or living-type (68mm) profiles, with optional painted finishes and crossbar detailing.

Internal partitions, electrical pre-wiring channels, additional insulation packages, and bespoke floor plans are available on request. Eurodita’s engineering team works directly with dealer partners to resolve any design requirement.

Private-Label & White-Label Service

Eurodita offers full private-label manufacturing for this log cabin design. Every document, delivery note, and product label carries your brand — not ours. Your clients see your company name from quotation through to installation. This white-label service is available at no additional cost on all bespoke orders, making Eurodita the invisible manufacturer behind your timber building brand.

Ideal Use Cases

With 30m² of interior space, this design supports a broad range of applications: guest accommodation, Airbnb letting, granny annexe, home gym, or multi-room studio. The generous floor plate permits flexible partitioning to suit the end user’s needs, and dealers frequently position buildings of this scale as self-contained living spaces or income-generating rental units. The 7.8m x 4.3m footprint fits comfortably within most residential plots while providing enough room for a kitchenette, bathroom pod, or separate sleeping area.

The wide double-door entry further extends commercial potential, accommodating retail displays, workshop equipment, and accessible access in line with disability regulations.

The 70mm wall section supports insulation and services integration for fully habitable use throughout the year, meeting the expectations of buyers who require a permanent, all-season structure.

Delivery & Production

Eurodita manufactures every project in its own production facility in Lithuania, with typical lead times of 4–8 weeks from confirmed order. Delivery is flat-packed on standard road-freight pallets. All 70mm wall sections, roof purlins, 28mm floor panels, pre-fitted windows, doors, and fasteners are included as a complete kit with numbered components and illustrated assembly instructions. Eurodita ships across Europe and the UK with established logistics partners, and can arrange delivery to site or dealer depot as required.
