A Rööm of One's Own : A Japanese-inspired timber frame modular system adaptable to suit your needs.

This Project: A remote office / yoga studio utilizing a proprietary modular structural system based on Japanese Teahouse-Style (Sukiya) construction and Scandinavian interior design.

We fabricate our kit structures in our San Luis Obispo workshop using wildfire-salvaged sugar pine timbers, sustainable hemp insulation and custom steel hardware.

Timon Phillips is a residential designer and woodworker with a vision for a better solution. Phillips has spent the past five years using his experience in Japanese and Scandinavian timber design to pioneer an affordable solution for an adaptable work or retreat space without the hassles of typical construction builds. His solution is aptly named rööm® and it is now available in California.

Rööm® is a modern, stand-alone dwelling made as a modular kit to allow for personal customization through an expandable building system using a specialized timber framework. It is quick to install and affordable as no crane is needed to deliver the kit and the foundation system is removable and portable.

The introductory rööm® model is nine feet by nine feet and retails for $25,000. The model pictured is 9' x 13' with a four foot porch. It retails for approximately $35,000. Each rööm® can be expanded in 4 to 8' modules as needs change. Rööm® is only available through Phillip’s San Luis Obispo-based company: Hut Inc. and available for delivery throughout California.
“Whether you are looking for a home office, yoga studio, art or music space, rööm is ready. I designed rööm to deliver a warm hut type space that is modern, solar-compatible and built-to-last while being fully moveable. When your life changes, just take it apart and move it anywhere. This is key for renters and those seeking a more nomadic lifestyle. We want roots but we want to take them with us. I see rööm as the future of ADUs,” said Timon Phillips, owner of Hut Inc.

Each rööm® is crafted from start-to-finish in San Luis Obispo using sustainable building materials and with Passive House technology in mind. Phillips has built partnerships with small businesses from lumber harvesters, saw mills, window suppliers, hemp and wood fiber insulation suppliers to local steel fabricators and electricians to personally oversee every aspect of the design process.

Hut’s rööm® is also a fast solution for providing temporary shelters to people in need, from losing a home to wildfire to civic-funded homeless shelters.
