The brief
Alongside classic gazebos, we also build unusual shapes. This octagonal gazebo was built to order for its owner, a company director. It has windows and can be lived in throughout the year, or used as summer accommodation.
Structure
The gazebo is built in the Norwegian technique, with the two-sided logs joined by a traditional Russian notch known as the dovetail. We devised this combination of construction techniques specifically for this building.
Finishing and fitting out
With the main components in place, we fitted the roof beams and the roof and gave the timber a coloured finish inside and out, followed by the windows and double doors.
Inside there is a kitchenette, while outside, paths and a lawn now surround the gazebo, with a corner barbecue and seating at the back. The owner is very pleased with the result.
