STEEPED IN TRADITION

The integral characteristic of Japanese architecture is the wooden post and beam method. A fascinating building structure that refrains from the use of nails and screws. The finished quality of the woodwork in Japanese construction is refined and considerably complex, utilising multiple different joinery techniques. This type of Japanese building dates back to Temples built at the end of the 7th Century. 

RECLAIMED

Across Japan, our team of specialists hand pick and salvage timber from the main islands of Honshu, Hokkaido, Shikoku and Kyushu. From homes, temples, industrial buildings and barns built with integrity and precision, rare pieces of timber find their way to the other side world for a new beginning.

BUILT TO LAST

For thousands of years the natural beauty and strength of timber has been sought after to bring warmth and character into structures, habitats and homes. In todays age of modern architecture and industrial design there is a never ending search for rare and unique materials, to create breathtaking homes and furniture. This point of difference, these impressive qualities, can be found in the seemingly timeless  Japanese beams and posts from Tokyo Timber. Sought after pieces are available now for projects across Australia. Tokyo Timber works on small to large scale projects with some of Australia's premier architects, designers and builders, including Design Precinct and B.E Architecture.
