A farmhouse in Läänemaa County

Built on the site of an old farmhouse, this contemporary residential building has a modern interior design but its exterior resembles a traditional farmhouse. The client wished to restore the farm complex of their ancestors in this naturally beautiful setting and create a place where they can escape the city life for some quiet time in the country.

“One could commission a house from your run-of-the-mill builders, or one could use Hobbiton. I was lucky to discover them. Building a log house requires excellent craftsmanship and experience, and these guys have plenty. They are also patient and willing to make alterations in the course of the work in order to come up with the best solutions as they go along. A handcrafted log house is like a tailored suit – you cannot just whip it up based on an architectural project. You have to be involved in the process with the guys from beginning to the end. With Hobbiton, the year it took to complete the building went by without much stress. Even the craziest ideas of the client were processed calmly and efficiently. We were both happy with the final result.”
