Tasmania is officially on the list.

Josh was there last week for site visits, client meetings and contractor meetings as we work through the early planning for a new project.

This one will be a large, off-grid, generational log home designed around family time, homesteading, relaxing and entertaining.

We’re working alongside Kris Waldron of Guildsman Traditional, our Australian representative and General Contractor, as well as Streamline Design.

Still early days, but there’s a lot to be excited about with this one.

Today, we recognize the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

We remember the children who never returned home, the Survivors of residential schools, and the families and communities who continue to live with those impacts.

We’re grateful for the opportunities we’ve had to work alongside Indigenous communities, including on spaces like this gathering circle, created for connection, culture and community.

Today is about listening, learning, reflecting and remembering.

Every Child Matters.

We spend a lot of time looking at logs.

And after all these years, you still find ones that make you stop for a second and think, “Okay… what the heck could we use this for?”

This one definitely had that effect.

Pretty impressed with where it ended up. Turning it into a table was a good call.

Some homes look like they were placed on a property.

The best ones look like they belong there.

The landscape, the views, the way the home sits on the site. All of it matters long before the finishing touches are put on.

Because when you’re building somewhere this beautiful, the house doesn’t need to compete with its surroundings.

It should feel like part of them.

Everyone wants a new home to have character.

But a lot of the time, the things that give a home character are the exact things we’ve spent years trying to make perfectly uniform.

The knots. The grain. A bit of variation. A log that isn’t exactly the same shape as the one beside it.

With natural timber, you don’t have to fake any of that later.

It’s already there from the start.

The log was weird.

So obviously we kept it.

One of the best parts of building with natural timber is finding the pieces that aren't perfectly straight or uniform and figuring out what they could become.

Over the years, character logs have found their way into statement entrances, multi-storey features, bunk beds and plenty of other places they probably weren't destined for when the tree first came down.

Sometimes the piece that looks the hardest to work with ends up being the one everyone remembers.

We like those ones.

Say “log home,” and there’s a pretty good chance you’re picturing a rustic little cabin in the woods.

Fair enough.

But that’s one version of what building with logs can look like.

Big expanses of glass. Clean architectural lines. Open living spaces. Contemporary kitchens. Modern finishes.

Timber doesn’t dictate one particular style.

It’s the material you get to build the style around.

And sometimes the most interesting homes are the ones that aren't quite what people expect a “log home” to be.

Apparently warm wood, natural materials and homes with more character are back in style for 2026.

We’ve just been calling it building.

There’s something about natural timber that’s very difficult to replicate with a manufactured finish.

It has variation. Texture. Knots. Grain. Imperfections.

And it changes the feeling of a space before you’ve added a single piece of furniture.

If that’s having a comeback, we’re happy to hear it.

We just never stopped.

Perfectly uniform has never really been the goal.
We’d rather let the wood look like wood.

Before the furniture.
Before the landscaping.
Before the photos you save to your dream-home folder.

There’s this.

Dirt. Concrete. Logs. Machinery.
A whole lot of planning and a building that, for a while, requires a pretty good imagination.

Every finished home we share started somewhere much less glamorous.

And honestly, we LOVE this stage.

Because this is when something that has existed on paper starts becoming real.
