2009 Country's Best Log Homes Design Awards | Resources for Log Homes

By S. Hancock on Jun 11, 2009
The designs look good but has anyone ever stopped to ask if they can be built !?

The link to the runner up under 2,500 sq, ft ( http://www.loghome.com/log_home_plan_the_dearborn_by_gravitas/articles/3019) looks great but at a glance I would say most log home professionals would agree, it can not be built. (without major settling issues that is)

If you are going to print this as the winner you should have has some input on if building is possible by anyone with knowledge of log homes and how they work.

You are a professional log home magazine?
This should be a complement, not an excuse.

S. Hancock--I certainly understand your concern. However, part of the focus of the design awards is to provide our readers with the most creative ideas available in the log-home industry. Although the plan as a whole may offer some construction challenges, such plans also offer a great deal of features that readers may feel inclined to include in their home design and may be easier or more realistic to construct. We also would hope our readers would do the due diligence we reiterate in our magazine in terms of working with their architect and/or log provider to find the best fit both for their living needs and what the property allows to ensure the best possible structure. We certainly appreciate your input as well and will take it into consideration for our contests going forward.

Thank you
