I have a small problem that I hope those of you who have built new with loose timber can help me with. It's difficult to get a good U-value on the house corners, and I wonder how/if you have solved this in any clever way. I will have horizontal and vertical insulation 125-75, the thinner should be on the outside.

I'm not very familiar with it, but since no one else has answered, I'll give it a try.
The variant that wasn't good, was it with 3 standing 120mm studs in each corner and 70mm horizontal studs on the outside? Does it really make that much of a difference from the rest of the wall? Sure, there's a lot of wood there, but you need it to attach the boards on the inside.
Edit: You might be able to cut an appropriate number of holes with a hole saw in the vertical studs. They're so close together that the structural integrity should still be sufficient. A real drill killer hehe.

This is how we do the corners, in this picture it is a 170 frame - but the principle is the same regardless of dimensions..
You place the plastic between the standing and horizontal inner studs, so you get a great space for water, electricity, network, etc.
Of course, you can add another layer of horizontal studs on the outside if you want to..!!
