Timber homes
built with heart
We design and build log and glulam houses around what each family wants. Behind the company stand founder Oto Doležal and a team of architects and carpenters who take real pride in their work.
A timber home of your own, within reach of as many people as possible
The company grew out of an idea of its founder, Oto Doležal: to build family homes that feel close to people, in how they live and what they’re made of, while keeping them within reach of as many people as possible. Giving people the chance to live in a home of their own, and not just the younger generation, is still what drives us today.
We build log buildings and log homes to your individual requirements. Our architects and site managers will help you find the best solution, with advice on the design and the choice of timber species. Right from the start, we’ve specialised in low-energy family homes.
Alongside hand-built solid timber in several traditional techniques, we also build with structural glulam beams. A house like this needs no settling period, goes up quickly and sits more easily within the local landscape character, even next to the neighbours’ brick-built houses. Besides family homes, we’ve also worked on restaurants, saunas, ranches and other buildings.
Our story so far
A few milestones on the way from our first commissions to today.
First houses, first friends
We start building houses within reach of as many people as possible. Our first happy customers arrive, and with many of them come lasting friendships.
Glulam beams
We bring in structural glulam beams, and donate a log gazebo to the nursery school in Petříkov.
Lodice glulam house
In Těptín we build an unconventional, boat-shaped glulam house. We also help build the monastery near Milíkov.
Trade fair and competition
We exhibit at the IBF building fair in Brno, and the Lodice glulam house takes us through to the international round of the Saint-Gobain competition in Berlin.
Still building
In the spring we hand over the glulam house in Křepenice, one of our latest projects.
If you can build a team of people who all pull in the same direction and bring them together under one name, believe me: that name will go on to great things and success beyond your wildest dreams.
What matters to us
We build every house with the people who’ll live in it in mind. These principles hold from the first meeting to the day we hand over the keys.
Openness and transparency
A personal approach, with you kept fully in the picture about the build, is the basis of a good working relationship. For us it’s standard, not an extra.
A house your way
You can make changes to the design, and even to the build while it’s under way, to match your own ideas.
Timber at the core
For us, timber is the best material for a family home. Living in a timber house feels noticeably different from living in a brick one, and it does people good.
Harmony with the surroundings
When we design the house, landscape the plot and decide which way the building faces, we bear feng shui principles in mind. We’re happy to explain them to you, free of charge.
We build with winter-felled timber
When a tree is felled decides how long the house will last. That’s why we build with softwood felled in winter, while the forest sleeps.
Felling in December and January
The bark has to come off by early March. By the time the warm weather arrives, the timber has dried enough to be safe from mould and blue stain.
More natural antiseptics
In winter, timber holds the fewest nutrients and the most resin acids and essential oils, so rot and mould have nothing to feed on.
Twice the lifespan
Pine felled in December was still sound after 16 years in damp soil, while pine felled in February had rotted through after eight years.
Less resin
In winter the sap stops moving, so the timber gives off very little resin when it warms up. That matters most in saunas.

We also sell exceptional-quality timber on its own: Siberian cedar (Siberian stone pine), Siberian larch and Angara pine. We’ll gladly send you prices and our full range on request.
