The homes are designed and manufactured by Finnlamelli and rooted deep in the log house tradition of Alajärvi in Finland. Active product development and state-of-the-art technology continue to keep Finnlamelli log houses at the leading edge of log home production and manufacture.
Log houses are cosy to live in. Natural materials and wooden surfaces create a comfortable and peaceful atmosphere. Everyone feels good in the healthy indoors air – people, pets and plants. Yet the manufacturing techniques used to create these natural havens mean that they incorporate all modern conveniences and will last for many years with only basic maintenance.
This excellence is achieved without neglecting nature since a clean environment fit for living is a fundamental necessity of life. Timber as a material is not harmful to the environment and its use as in building enhances the beauty of the location while opening up the beauty and natural history of the area to visiting families. Such an ethos fits well with the principles of the North York Moors National Park. They are:
-To conserve and enhance the natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage of the National Park
-To promote opportunities for the understanding and enjoyment of the special qualities of the Park by the public
National Parks must also seek to foster the economic and social well-being of local communities and at the same time, ensure that the use and enjoyment of the natural and cultural resources should not, in overall terms, destroy them.
With such principles in mind, the introduction of a sympathetically designed community of homes into the Lowfield site has achieved its aim of forming a beneficial symbiotic relationship with the aims of the National Parks Authority.
The Hayburn is a single storey log home with two double ensuite bedrooms and an open terraced area.
The Hundale is a two Storey building with three double bedrooms and a Mezzanine lounge leading to a balcony.
