Japanese House

Fraemohs Homes

Built for a Japanese customer, the house is a typical small Japanese design with formal entrance, unit bathroom and tatami room.

The overall concept is Japanese with the design modified by Fraemohs to suit their construction method. All timber used is kiln dried laminated radiata pine treated via LOSP to H3.1. The walls are three laminates of ex 150 x 40 machined to give a finished dimension of 128.4 x 95mm. The construction method is based on the Scandinavian log cabin principle with wall planks interlocking to provide unique strength without using a single nail. Only the roof and floor call for nails in their construction.
