Japanese Carpentry

Our tiny family is building a house. We are shortly before moving into the new place and I´m exhausted by the entire process. Building a house drained my batteries. In 2021 I certainly don´t want to spend my time making phone calls and appointments with builders.

Then I saw this beautiful film[1] of a japanese carpenter building a wooden house for a family, and I thought by myself, with this guy I would be willing to build another house.

In my opinion this is how any work should be done. This is how I have to do my work.

We believe that in this house, you can live with peace of mind all the way to your grandchildren´s generation.
