About This Model
The Sunset Chalet is a log hybrid home that combines the beauty and thermal mass of full logs with the clean, flat interior walls of a timber frame. Customers who love the look and feel of log but prefer no settling, flat walls, and fewer design limitations choose this style. It still features massive character posts, log stairsets, log prow posts, interior and exterior tongue-and-groove ceilings and soffits, and rough-sawn trim — delivering authentic log character without the typical limitations of a full log home.
Why Choose the Sunset Chalet Hybrid?
This log-timber hybrid offers the best of both worlds: superior pricing compared to a full timber frame, better energy efficiency from larger log thermal mass, and the high-quality materials and craftsmanship Lazarus is known for. It provides maximum design flexibility while maintaining the warm, rustic log aesthetic on the exterior and a modern, clean interior.
Note: Final pricing depends on log wall size, lumber market conditions, and requested modifications.
