We're proud to celebrate Log House being featured in the latest edition of Local Project—a project where material innovation and craftsmanship define the architectural experience.
The home's defining feature is its bespoke log-lined off-form concrete, developed through more than 12 months of prototyping and collaboration. Split plantation pine logs, installed with their natural bark retained, created a richly textured imprint that captures the grain, depth and character of timber in concrete. As daylight moves across the façade, the surface continually reveals new layers of texture and shadow.
This thoughtful approach to materiality extends throughout the home, from reclaimed tallowwood feature beams and patterned quartzite crazy paving to the careful reuse of the original formwork logs as the front fence. Every material was selected and detailed to celebrate authenticity, longevity and craftsmanship.
