Timber Frame Houses

If you dream of a home that lasts, is healthy to live in, and exists in harmony with nature, a timber frame house is the ideal choice. The Homestead for Generations (HFG) team, led by Raimonds Celms, a third-generation carpenter, builds timber frame houses that combine ancient Latvian carpentry skills, modern engineering and respect for nature.

We don’t just build houses — we create a legacy for future generations.

• Turnkey timber frame houses;
• Individual timber frame house designs;
• Sustainable, nature-friendly solutions;
• A full construction cycle from idea to realisation.

Timber frame house construction — a natural approach, an authentic result

We use only carefully selected materials and proven methods that ensure excellent quality and sustainability.

• Natural paints and finishing — we use natural oil paints, lime, tar and silicate paints, which protect against moisture and mould while preserving the wood’s texture and aesthetics;
• Wood protection — we choose the charring method for longer service life, along with linseed oil and tar impregnation and protection against rot, fungi and weather;
• The highest quality timber — we choose winter-felled trees, since they’re denser and more durable. All timber is certified and meets strict quality standards.

Smart planning — the foundation of a quality home

Every timber frame house project is shaped with human wellbeing and longevity in mind.

• Building placement according to cardinal orientation;
• Assessment of underground water vein influence;
• Sustainable site planning;
• A view toward the future — solutions that will serve for decades.

Structural quality — durability lies in the details

We pay special attention to every detail:

• Stainless steel fastenings;
• Durable wood joints;
• Additionally galvanised elements;
• Long-term solutions — invest today, benefit in the future.

Quality of life starts with the environment

Our approach to construction includes care for the surrounding environment and human health:

• Nature-friendly materials;
• Preserving the surrounding environment — trees, meadows, water;
• Sustainable stewardship;
• Safe, quality engineering solutions.
