rööm assembly
The formation of two different rööm projects.
Rööm 13
This Rööm was built on the central coast for a dynamic couple who needed a discreet office studio physically separated from the family home where they are raising two young children. The husband is a tech executive who regularly conducts web meetings while his designer wife shoots photography sessions. They were surprised at how quiet the interior is from the outside world.
Rööm 13 + Porch
This Rööm was built inland from California's central coast for an artist to use as a quiet, secluded space to meditate and create future works of art. It's also a space for her mother to sleep in when she visits from out of town. She opted for the porch to visually add square footage while offering a sheltered outdoor sitting area.
3. The SLO Rööm
The SLO Rööm, the third studio built by Hut, is a versatile space designed for an active family with young children. It functions as a game night venue, yoga studio, workspace, and guest retreat. Key features include a full-length slider door on the narrow side that floods the interior with natural light, and four high-placed clerestory half windows for privacy. The hopper-style windows tilt inward to avoid obstructing the exterior pathway.
To preserve the view shed, the building was lowered below grade, eliminating the typical step-up entry. The roof pitch runs along the long axis, and the overhang was reduced to just 6” to meet property line setbacks. The SLO Rööm is a perfect blend of form, function, and thoughtful design, creating a unique addition to the family’s lifestyle.
