japanese timber frame meets finnish design
Rööm draws from two highly respected building traditions. Traditional Japanese timber frame construction in the teahouse (Sukiya) style comprising structural honesty, natural materials, and proportional beauty. Finnish design prizes warmth, simplicity, and the deep relationship between shelter and landscape.
Both traditions believe a structure should feel nuanced and balanced. Nothing added, nothing missing. That's the standard every Rööm is built to.
Put it together or take it apart.
Our proprietary system makes for rapid assembly while also made to disassemble cleanly at the end of its lifecycle.
It won't burn down.
Continuous fire-resistant exterior insulation protects against combustion.
Because the best fire is the one that never starts.
It goes back to the earth.
Non-toxic, biodegradable materials complete a safe, circular lifecycle.
What comes from nature returns to nature.
It barely touches the ground.
Ground screw foundation systems minimize environmental impact.
No concrete slabs or piers. No excavation.
Built from what fire left behind.
Every Rööm uses sugar pine timber exclusively—salvaged from trees burned in California wildfires or felled for wildfire prevention. These are the world's largest pines, once comprising 25% of Lake Tahoe's forests. Today they make up less than 5%, threatened by white pine blister rust and wildfire.
By salvaging dead trees, we capture carbon that would otherwise return to the atmosphere as they decompose. We give fire's damage a second life—and we give back to restore what was lost.

As members of 1% for the Planet, we commit one percent of revenue to protecting the forests our timber come from. We support the Sugar Pine Foundation, who plant disease-resistant sugar pine in burn scars—including the very areas where our salvaged timber originated.
When you build with Hut, you help close the loop: salvaged timber becomes fire-resistant shelter, carbon stays captured, and profits replant the forests.
