Reuse
Looking at the home would cast doubt on whether or not any materials could be salvaged, but Richard was passionate about putting as much of the old home as he could into the new home. Richard hired his family to help him with this huge job. And it didn’t take long before they also discovered a natural spring nearby, which meant they could install their own water supply for the home.
Original construction
Richard wanted to “stay true to the soul of the original construction,” but that turned out to be difficult. During excavation, rock was discovered about two meters below the ground. That meant they had to build the cabin a few meters above the ground. They poured concrete to make a basement, and Richard sourced materials from the trees on his property.
Materials from the environment
They used white oak to make new floor beams, and a rustic porch brought the whole vision together. By using locally sourced wood, Richard was able to meld his house with the beautiful surroundings—this made the project look very special. The new log cabin also had a second floor. He used a fallen oak to make a beautiful staircase.
Log cabin
Because the family invested a lot of time and care into building the log cabin, the end result is sure to be spectacular! Together, the family enjoys it when they can. Wondering what the log cabin will look like? Watch the video below for a sneak peek:
