Growing up on the North Shore, Norm Morrison spent a lot of time in the forests hiking, biking and enjoying the outdoors. Today, as the founder of Ajia Homes, he dedicates a lot of his time to helping others bring their dreams of a getaway cabin in the woods to reality.
In the 1990s, his work as a carpenter took him to Japan where he built Canadian log homes for the local market. In 1994 he returned to North Vancouver and began building the small craftsman style custom cabins here for export.
As global markets changed and Ajia began to offer a broader range of home designs, he began to explore the North American market as well.
Today, Ajia has become an in-demand producer of prefabricated recreational home packages. Their reputation for honesty, commitment to their clients and dedicated service have made them a valued partner for people looking to get the most out of recreational living.
Working mostly in Douglas Fir and Red Cedar, Ajia offers floor plans ranging from a few hundred square feet to over 3,000 square feet.
For Norm, the most important thing is giving his customers the best possible finished product, and he holds his suppliers to the same high standard.
"We take pride and a personal interest in every home we build," says Norm. "By the end of their experience with us most of our customers say 'Come visit our cabin anytime, the key is under the mat.' That type of reaction is what we strive for with every home we produce."
If you're thinking of a cabin to get away to, you don't really have to look any further than your own back yard.
