For the unique needs in life
It is important for us to design buildings that improve your quality of life and stand the test of time. Our R&D team has developed and studied different solutions for decades. We use safe methods based on our own research and we have been building log homes for over 6o years. Our work honours the Finnish traditions and competence in design, architecture and engineering.
Functional and timeless architecture and design
Our goal is to create beautiful and functional homes in timeless Scandinavian design. Houses that you’ll find easy to fall in love with. Choose traditional or contemporary style and customize with details of your choice. A Honka log house or holiday home is always made to suit your individual needs and lifestyle.
We are continually developing our collections in line with the evolving market needs. We are curious to find out how people want to live, now and in the future.
Traditional and contemporary designs – all natural
What is your ideal living environment? Is it the serenity of the seaside, the calm of the countryside or the hustle and bustle of the city? Whether your dream is to build a family home in the city, a cabin in the woods or a classic log mansion – Honka has the perfect solution for you.
Many people find the home of their dreams in our collection of house kits. All of the log home and log cabin kits in our collection can also be modified to your needs or we can design a custom house from the ground up to meet your wishes.

Honka Fusion+
The next generation log homes based on CLT technology
Building houses out of logs is a traditional construction method that has been used in the Nordic countries for centuries. Now it’s possible to combine this healthy and ecological building method with inspiring architecture and the latest technology to create unforgettable living experiences.
Honka Fusion+ is our very own innovation that enables a totally new look and several advantages for log construction. Because of the non-settling Honka Fusion+ wall, CLT logs can be easily combined with other materials, free of the wide architraves and settling spaces required in traditional log construction. This allows genuine massive wood to be easily combined with other building materials, such as glass, stone and steel with urban, minimalistic details.
Honka Fusion+ CLT log allows us to build bolder and more diverse structures than ever before. These are the next generation log houses that are at ease even in the most urban settings.
Product Director Eino Hekali:
Why is the Honka CLT log an outstanding choice for architecture?
Honka Fusion+ CLT log is an innovative, ecological solution for modern wooden architecture – genuine massive wood works both on the façade and interior surface as it is without additional cladding, and it can be easily combined with other building materials, such as glass, stone and steel.
