Timber ceilings in a flat pack home from Stommel Haus — The finished timber ceilings are part of the shell delivery

The ceilings, showing the beauty of the natural polar spruce, are also finished. Typically we provide vaulted ceilings on the first floor. If you go for a design with an open gallery, you can see the beautiful timber construction in the roof ridge.
