The Norwegian Log story: sustainable, beautiful and built to last

Pioneers to market leaders

Founded as a family business in 1984, Norwegian Log brought to the UK high-specification, healthy Scandinavian homes built from one of nature’s finest renewable materials: Norwegian spruce trees.

Constructed from solid logs throughout, with the addition of modern cavity insulation, giving you a warm, cosy home which will last for generations. Your cabin home could be delivered within weeks fully-fitted.

Planning permission rarely required

Our homes are designed to fit most gardens with minimal access requirements and without requiring planning permission if occupied by a family member.

We were the first in the UK to recognise the benefits of a transportable log home and prove they fall under the Caravan Act which allows you flexibility to site within your garden for a family member, on land for a rural worker’s dwelling, or as a holiday home.

“When I look out of the window, what’s not to like! It’s tucked away, secluded, utterly silent at night and I can listen to the owls and the bats. It’s like being on holiday.”

Sally, owner of two Norwegian Log homes.

Our Ethos: Built to Your Vision

With over 1000 homes built, we continue our founding mission: delivering high-specification, bespoke log homes crafted to our customers’ exact requirements. 

From the initial consultation to design, groundworks, construction, fit out and finishing touches, your cabin will be crafted entirely by our in-house team. 

The only step handled outside the UK is sourcing the slow-growing, strong and highly insulating Norwegian spruce logs—a task entrusted to our expert Norwegian forestry partner.

All across the UK

Our customers are homeowners looking for more accommodation for themselves or family members. However, we also work with schools, holiday parks, charities, and public bodies to supply commercial log buildings.

Your Needs Come First

Our customers are at our heart, with us wanting to make as little disruption to your regular life as possible whilst building and creating your dream log cabin.

We sort everything so you don’t have to.

“The whole ethos of the company is to please the customer.”

Paul, resident of a Norwegian Log home.

Sustainable and energy efficient

Rising energy costs make efficiency essential. Our log homes, inspired by Norwegian design, combine a robust log structure with modern insulation to stay cool in summer and warm in winter. This keeps running costs low and ensures year-round comfort.

With exclusive rights to one of Norway's leading log manufacturers, our homes are built sustainably—replanting more trees than we harvest.
