Who says beauty is only skin-deep? It’s obvious that Natural Element Homes are the most beautiful homes available. From the outside, you are captured by dramatic curb appeal. From
the inside, you are surrounded by stunning good looks. But looks aren’t everything. Underneath the beauty lies the finest building system available. The THE HYBRID BUILDING SYSTEM® (HBS) is simply a better way to build a structurally superior home, in less time, with less job site waste and at a higher standard of quality than has ever been possible. With the HBS, we have optimized the way homes are designed and built to provide you the highest level of flexibility and quality.

A Natural Element Home® built with THE HYBRID BUILDING SYSTEM® combines the beauty of log, timber and other Natural Elements® with the quality and consistency of Engineered Wood Products (or conventional building materials). The HBS increases design efficiency by providing engineering documentation and materials schedules for the structural shell while utilizing non-structural log and timber systems as key architectural elements. The HBS delivers cost-effective curb appeal by utilizing factory-built Natural Elements® to dress the structural shell of the home. An HBS Natural Element Home® is a high-performance home with an elevated level of design and construction efficiency and unsurpassed beauty.
