Contemporary Building System

Designed to incorporate conventional roof construction and innovation, our Contemporary Building System allows you to enjoy the rustic charm of a log home with contemporary features.

Jim Barna has combined full log walls and heavy timber ceiling joists with the conventional roof and gable framing to create a high quality contemporary log home.

The wide choice of log profiles and designs makes the Contemporary Building System a logical choice for the customer who wants superior craftsmanship that blends the past, present and future.
