This paper evaluates and reports on the timber procurement and architectural design process for the new construction of Nitobe Enyu Living Laboratory, in which Sakhalin Fir from the Nakagawa Experimental Forest of Hokkaido University is used for the wooden frame. Rationality of the methods are confirmed in the process of adopting a wooden structural system that combines flat square timber by taking the characteristics of tree species into consideration, and of drawing timber cutting diagrams according to the size of felled logs before sawing up. This report provides basic knowledge for developing systematic methods of utilizing Sakhalin Fir.
