Even a standard project can become personal and unique, as it can be adapted to your needs, your plot and your way of living. Take a look at the transformation of the GROW 1 house, shaped around the client’s vision of a calm holiday home by the sea.

Can a house be built in just two days? And once it’s made, how do you even get it out of the factory?:) During their project week, children from a local school spent a day in a factory. For us, it was a great chance to rediscover our production through children’s eyes.

This spring, we’re introducing a new product – versatile buildings designed for agricultural use, yet just as relevant for anyone who needs space that actually works. They can serve as a barn, machinery storage, a workshop, or anything else your needs require.

Last year at Dores wasn’t just “busy” – it changed the scale of what we can take on. This year, we had to rethink how things move inside the factory. To keep up, we’ve expanded our production with a new, high-performance machine.

This spring, Dores will take part in two important European exhibitions: Nordbygg in Sweden and HoutBouw in the Netherlands. Read on to find out more details and hopefully come meet us in person at the exhibition!

Talking about timber construction often sounds poetic — precision, care, tradition. A blower door test is where poetry meets physics. It measures airtightness. Here’s a recent test of a Dores house that exceeded Passive House standard.

In Northern Europe, construction does not pause for winter. With prefabricated timber panel systems and glulam log elements produced off-site, winter can actually be a surprisingly efficient time to build.

We believe good homes begin with people who care. This is the office team – the ones behind the calls, the sketches, the small adjustments and the big decisions that turn ideas into places you can truly live in.
