Honka Multistorey
Optimised multi-storey construction
Our aim is to introduce the benefits of log construction to multi-storey buildings and make them widely available to builders. Honka MultiStorey is a unique multi-storey building construction concept for structurally safe and long-lasting log apartment buildings. Thanks to the non-settling CLT log, developed by Honka 20 years ago, log can be combined with various types of building materials.
Hybrid apartment buildings with CLT log & concrete structures
CLT Log as a competitive edge
CLT log has become a competitive asset in the housing sector, differentiating companies using log from their competitors. A CLT log building is a high-quality and healthy choice for occupants, and it retains its value for long. Honka MultiStorey offers a solution for the use of CLT log in concrete construction.
More climate-friendly solution
Honka CLT log is a healthy, safe, and environmentally friendly choice for the exterior wall material of a multi-storey building. A CLT log wall made from Finnish wood has a significantly lower carbon footprint than a concrete wall, and also acts as a carbon sink throughout its lifespan.
A good place to be and breathe easy
Log surfaces create apartments in multi-storey buildings that stand out from the traditional market, with a relaxed atmosphere and gentle acoustics. A CLT log wall balances indoor air humidity naturally and lacks interfaces between different structural layers where moisture could condense.

Our Honka MultiStorey manual shows how to introduce CLT logs into concrete construction. Our manual covers all key issues, from zoning to providing guidelines for the architect, designer and construction company, and for the construction of the house itself, right down to the details of weather protection and fire safety.
We offer this manual for joint public use, as we want to promote climate-friendly construction in a safe and controlled way.
