For more than a decade now, the Chappell Universal Square has been in the hands of craftsmen builders, professional carpenters and people building their own houses, wedding arches, workshops, playhouses or tree houses in their backyards. Now we want to shine a spotlight on your work — the homes, studios, gazebos, furniture, timber frames, outdoor structures, and creative builds that came to life with the help of the Chappell Universal Square.
To celebrate these projects, we are excited to announce the Chappell Square Compose Your Masterpiece Design Contest. In fact, the Chappell Square Design Contest aims to highlight creativity and expert building talent from all around the world.
