Our timber houses are a testament to the rich tradition of Chinese woodworking. The mortise and tenon joinery, a hallmark of our craftsmanship, ensures that each structure is not only aesthetically pleasing but also incredibly durable. This ancient technique involves interlocking wooden joints, which expand and contract with the wood, making the structure resilient to changes in temperature and humidity.
Our skilled artisans, many of whom have over 20 years of experience, meticulously craft each piece by hand. This attention to detail ensures that every timber house is a unique work of art, reflecting the cultural heritage of traditional Chinese architecture.
Our homestay timber houses are ideal for a variety of applications, including:
One of our recent projects involved the construction of a homestay timber house for a luxury eco-resort in the scenic mountains of China. The client wanted a structure that would blend with the natural landscape while providing modern comforts to guests. We worked closely with the resort’s management to design a two-story timber house with a floor area of 80 sqm. The project was completed in 10 weeks, and the result was a stunning structure that exceeded the client’s expectations. The resort has reported a significant increase in bookings, with guests particularly appreciating the unique ambiance and comfort of the timber house.

Many clients assume that cost-effective pine is the only viable option for large-scale landscape installations. While pine serves well for temporary structures or low-budget residential projects, it often fails to meet the durability standards required for public landmarks or high-traffic commercial zones. After three to five years of exposure, untreated or standard pressure-treated pine commonly suffers from surface checking, moisture absorption, and UV-induced fading. This degradation not only diminishes the aesthetic appeal of the pavilion but also weakens the structural integrity of critical load-bearing joints.
In contrast, our China facility strictly utilizes Kiln-Dried Balau (Shorea) and high-grade Cedar for all custom landmark commissions. Balau possesses a natural Janka hardness rating of 1,080 lbf, making it exceptionally resistant to wear and impact. More importantly, it contains natural oils that act as an inherent fungicide, eliminating the need for chemical preservatives that can leach into the surrounding soil. This ecological advantage is increasingly critical for clients and North America who adhere to strict EPA and CE environmental regulations. By selecting Balau, you secure a material that maintains its dimensional stability even in fluctuating humidity levels, ensuring that the intricate mortise-and-tenon connections remain tight and secure for decades without the risk of loosening due to wood shrinkage.
A common misconception in the global heritage market is that traditional craftsmanship implies the absence of modern technology. In reality, the most efficient high-end production lines combine Computer Numerical Control (CNC) roughing with skilled artisan finishing. This hybrid approach is essential for maintaining consistent quality across a batch of 50+ identical components for a multi-pavilion park project.
Our workflow begins with 3D scanning of the original blueprint or reference structure. The data is processed into G-code to program our five-axis CNC mills, which carve the gross shape of each beam and bracket to within 0.5mm tolerance. This step removes the hardest 90% of the material, drastically reducing the labor required from manual chiseling. However, the final 10%the fine detailing, the sharpening of tenons, and the polishing of joinery surfacesis exclusively performed by master carpenters with over 20 years of experience. This ensures that the mechanical strength of the joint is not compromised by rough machine cuts. For clients who require a “living” finish, our artisans apply hand-scrubbed hemp oil treatments that penetrate the wood grain, offering a matte, non-reflective surface that weathers elegantly rather than peeling like conventional varnishes.
