How We Source Our Wood: Local, Responsible, Regenerative

At Tierra Zen, material choice isn’t just technical — it’s ethical.

Every cabin we build starts with a decision: to source wood locally. From forests to fabrication, we keep our supply chain close to home. This isn’t just about reducing carbon miles — it’s about building systems that regenerate local economies and respect ecosystems.

We work with foresters who understand responsible harvesting. The softwood used in our cabins is selected not only for strength and stability, but for its warmth, tactile quality, and compatibility with digital milling.

Why does local wood matter?

1. It supports regional economies.By purchasing directly from nearby suppliers, we create demand for sustainable forestry and help small businesses thrive.

2. It enhances design authenticity.Each region has its own wood species, colors, grains. That becomes part of the architectural story. When we build in Quebec, Honduras, or anywhere else, the cabin speaks the local language of the forest.

3. It enables rapid, ethical production.Shorter supply chains mean fewer delays, more traceability, and greater transparency for you — the client.

A cabin should not only look natural. It should be made naturally.

With every board we select, we are making an investment — in the land, the community, and the future of building.
