In northern Finland, an interesting Giantlog complex rises on the shore of Lake Miekojärvi. We got to interview Hannu Kankaanpää, the architect who designed the project, who has more than 20 years of solid experience in designing residential buildings.

In Jyväskylä, a wonderful Giantlog villa has been built on the shore of Lake Vesankajärvi, on the family estate of Mia-Riitta Niemi. The villa was named Villa Airanne, which tells about the history of the family, and the whole idea of the villa was built around the family's beloved dinner table brought from the village of Airanne from Sortavala, Karelia, as well as Mia-Riitta's grandmother's rocking chair. The complex that combines elegantly modern design, a spectacular Giantlog structure, natural landscapes and Finnish tradition is worth seeing!

A magnificent complex of Giantlog houses has been built in Vartiokylä, Helsinki, by construction company Argentum. The complex includes three semi-detached houses and one 180 m² single-family house. The level of finishing and material choices in the destination is astonishing, therefore the naturally impressive Giantlog was chosen as the frame of the houses.

It’s great to be back in my home region – living in a house that’s exactly what we have always dreamed of,” says Jaakko Iivari.

Jaakko and Tiina Iivari built a traditional and cosy 105-square-metre log house to Lohiniva in Rovaniemi. The house was completed in April 2020. The couple compared houses from several different log suppliers and finally chose Pellopuu’s Ajanki 105 log house (former Levi 205B) with small modifications. Traditional extended log corner was chosen as the corner solution.  

In 2019, we made a huge investment to develop our operations both in terms of business and ecologically. Concurrently, we want to support renewable energy sources and do our part in battling climate change.

The project will be finished by the end of the year and includes, for example, one of the largest solar power plants in Northern Finland, a modern HERZ BioFire wood chip power plant, and a new 3000-square-metremanufacturing hall built from recycled concrete elements and wood. The project also includes an investment to one of the world’s largest log processing lines which enables added-value products through new processing capabilities.

"The delivered parts fitted perfectly, and the structure was assembled in a matter of weeks. All in all, we were very happy with the project", says Liesbeth Habraken. 

In 2019, a new architecturally unique log house was completed in the village of Gassel in the Netherlands, close to the city of Grave. The gorgeous, contemporary and ecological log house was the joint creation of its owners Guus and Liesbeth Habraken and the architect Werner Evers of Solid Green Architecture. Pellopuu manufactured and delivered the entire pine log structure of the house, as well as all of the timber parts used for the floors, doors, windows and the special wooden exterior surfaces of the house.

The 120 square-metre house has two floors. The first floor consists of a single large space that combines living room, dining room and kitchen. On the second floor, there is a large and luxurious master bedroom with its own bath, a large guest bedroom, as well as a bathroom and a separate toilet in between the rooms. Above the second floor, there is an attic storage space.
