Rovaniemi sales office in Finland
Taste the Lappish way of living
Natural energy efficiency is our inspiration
The new office of Rovaniemi Hirsitalot Oy called Kieppi consists of showroom and sales office and located in the Santa Claus Village on the Arctic
Circle, Rovaniemi city. The building itself is a demonstration of Finnish high
technology combined with traditional Lappish log construction. At the same
time, the Kieppi building represents high standard of modern living. It is a
place where you can genuinely relax, enjoy and familiarise yourself with the
Lappish way of living. Here you can enjoy the good life with a hot drink by the
warmth of the glowing fireplace. The Kieppi building combines a home with
a pleasant destination and travel experience.
The birds overwintering in Lapland have learnt to survive the conditions of
the Arctic by saving energy. They dig out dense snow burrows (called Kieppi
in Finnish) for themselves that protect them from the cold. The temperature in
the snow burrow will remain above zero, even if it is twenty below zero outside.
The birds keep warm in the snow burrows and save up to half of their energy.
Opened in 2013, the Kieppi building is young, but its roots can be found deep
within the history of Lapland.
Construction materials shaped by nature
For centuries, the rugged nature of Lapland has provided livelihood and a
living environment for local people. Construction materials have also been
sourced from local nature. Cabins, huts and houses made from logs – the best
of natural materials – which, even though untreated, provided sufficient heat
insulation against the harsh temperatures of mid-winter.
The snow burrow made by these birds formed the ideology for the Kieppi
building. A log house is an ecological and healthy home: pleasantly warm in
the winter, wonderfully cool in the summer, all while filtering and cleansing
the air for you. For us, wood is just as natural a construction material as snow
is for birds: energy efficient and tightly sealed, warm yet breathing.
Rovaniemi log houses continue the Finnish tradition
Finnish expertise beats at the very heart of our operations. All our production
is done in Finland using Finnish experts. Rovaniemi log houses buildings are
made from densely grained Lappish pine trees using established professional
skills in log construction – respecting the snow burrow ideology. Over the
centuries, no other material has been capable of providing similar protection
and warmth. Log has always lived around us. And it still does.

Santa Claus Lives Here
The Rovaniemi trade mark was named after the town of Rovaniemi, the capital
of Lapland. It stands at the crossing point of the two big rivers Ounasjoki
and Kemijoki. Rovaniemi is the place where the dreams of children from
all over the world are realized. There is an office where letters and requests
for Christmas presents are received, along with a main office where Santa
Claus meets guests. There is also a central post office from which guests can
send greetings letters and parcels to their friends and relatives. This is the
magical Northern town in which a festive atmosphere is ever present, and the
constant presence of Santa Claus and his friendly team of elves are to be felt.
The local people are careful to preserve the rich national traditions of Lapland.
The culture is therefore quite original and unique. Laplanders are drawn to
bright colours. There are many intense red, blue and green colours in their
national clothing. The music of Lapland, which is very relaxing and able to
draw your mind out of everyday reality, is popular in Finland. Lapland is the
most exotic place in Finland. Many things are perceived differently here as
opposed to other parts of the country. The summer consists of the Polar day
when, for almost two months, the Sun doesn’t dip beneath the horizon. And
one can enjoy unusual night walks. The late autumn is an extended period
which acquired the name of the Winter Kingdom.
The main sightseeing attraction of Lapland is, of course, Santa Claus. His
presence is felt in everything. The people of Lapland, and especially of
Rovaniemi, the home of Santa Claus, say that the festive atmosphere is the
prevailing feature of life there.
Although the world and life around are always changing rapidly, Lapland,
with its unique natural beauty, distinctive people and unhurried flow of
life, remains unchanged. People from different parts of the world love to
come here to enjoy the beauty of the sun-dappled hills in autumn, and to
familiarize themselves with the fairy-tale quality of winter in Finland. This
quality of winter is wonderfully described by Tove Jansson in his stories about
the Moomin Trolls. Lapland is the fairy-tale world where many dreams come
true. Nature that is untouched by human beings is enough to take the breath
away, feelings become more sensitive, and a sense of harmony with the world
emerges.

Green gold
For many kilometres, the Finnish Polar region is covered in thick forest, the
most part of which is pine forest. Laplanders proudly call it ‘green gold’. The
forest occupies a special place in Finnish folklore. From the earliest times, it
has been adored, valued and respected. Such an attitude has been passed
on from one generation to the next, and modern Finns are still passionate
about it in the same way. Over many centuries, the forest has played a pivotal
role in the development of the Finnish economy. Finns themselves like to
joke that they come from the forest. All year around and especially in winter,
the Finnish forest looks absolutely magical. Snow covered fir tree along with
rays of sunlight reflected on their branches create a magical atmosphere in
which it is possible to forget all the problems and worries of modern life.
This, along with the ecologically clean environment, makes breathing a lot
easier in these Finnish forests. Added to all this, the reign of silence allows
the attainment of a certain inner peace. All worries seem to just melt away
and pale into insignificance next to the grandeur of Nature. It is not by chance
that Lapps call their forest ‘green gold’. Finnish pine is valued almost like gold
due to its unique qualities as a construction material. People therefore have a
special attitude towards the forest.
Careless tree felling is forbidden, and for each tree felled a new one has to
be planted by the owner. On their own initiative, individual owners group
together into associations, and, through them, they manage the replacement
of trees that have been felled. One of the aspects of the activity of such
associations is combined forestry management. The owners hire professional
forest specialists who look after not only the well being of the whole forest
but of each tree too. Finnish spruce and pine, timber that is famous for its
unique qualities as a building material, grow specifically in such forests and,
in accordance with the highest European standards, Rovaneimi’s authentic
wooden houses are constructed using these materials.
Finns value and respect their forest. Such an attitude has been passed
on from one generation to the next. Environmental issues are the most
significant subject for debate in Finnish society.

The Uniqueness of Lapland Timber
Lapland pine and spruce are unique due to the climatic conditions in which
they grow. In the low Polar temperatures, all the processes of life are
considerably slowed down. At this latitude, winter lasts for 6 months. The
beautiful pines grow very slowly and therefore the wood has a very high
density structure and develops a resistance to a hostile environment. As a
result of the slow rate of growth, they look much smaller than trees of the
same type grown in more southerly latitude. The growth of a tree can be
compared to a human life. In much the same way as a human being, a tree
has its ‘child’, ‘adult’ and ‘elderly’ stages. In Lapland, a tree is classified as an
‘adult’ when it is a hundred years old.
the nervous system and has a good effect on health and well-being. People
living in wooden houses are less prone to headaches, depression and stress.
Not everyone can live in an ecologically clean environment, and therefore
the opportunity to do so is increasingly vital for people in the modern world.
It is clear that a wooden house is not just a building, but is a special world
into which to invite friends and family. It should therefore bring joy and
radiate a good, harmonious atmosphere. Such a world, that reflects both the
individuality and the unique life style of its owners, can be created in a TM
Rovaniemi wooden house from Lapland.
Lapland pines and spruces are valued around the world, and many people
specifically select these types of tree as their building material of choice.
Due to the special structure of the wood substance, the moisture content and
the oxygen level are balanced at the right level in the house. Timber interacts
with the environment in a very special way. It has the ability to disinfect the
air. It is also an ecologically friendly material that therefore does not cause
any allergic reactions. The warm and sun-like colour of wooden buildings
creates a unique psychological ambiance which has a calming influence on
Due to the severe climatic conditions and slow rate of growth the Lapland
pines and spruces develop a very high density structure and a resistance to a
hostile environment.

Kelo is unique
Rovaniemi has introduced a totally new and exclusive material onto the log
house market – dried ‘dead standing’ pine KELO from Lapland. In Europe,
dried ‘dead standing’ pine has been very popular in recent years amongst the
more well-off people who are looking for non-standard solutions. People in
Russia are now also offered the possibility of using this material. the low Polar
temperatures
Kelo is a special pine. This tree comes exclusively from Lapland, where it grows
very slowly due to the low Polar temperatures. Due to the severe climatic
conditions in which it grows and its slow rate of growth, KELO possesses a
high level of timber density and is highly resistant to environment influences.
When pine reaches a certain age, the needles and branches fall off and the
root system stops receiving the necessary nutrition. Finally, the tree dries out.
its roots to ensure that no damage is done to the thickest part of the trunk
or to neighbouring trees. It is then transported out of the forest on special
machines. Experienced specialists study carefully the trunks of each tree and
select individually the ones which are fully compliant with all the necessary
requirements. Dried pine undergoes no manufacturing processing and
therefore Kelo preserves all its natural attributes. The careful section of trees,
added to the fact that all processing is done by hand, makes KELO into a special
hand-crafted building material. KELO has a lot of advantages in comparison
to other building materials. These include a) the fact that the timber has a
very minimal level of moisture, b) the fact that it is ecologically friendly and
c) the fact that there is almost no shrinkage over time that ensures the almost
unchanging appearance of the logs.
If the pine remains standing vertically then, during the decades and centuries,
irreversible changes take place and the tree dries out in a ‘dead standing’
position. Before the tree can be used for building, specialists have to watch
it over a long period in its place of growth. After a positive evaluation, the
dried ‘dead standing’ pine is ‘pulled’ very carefully from the earth along with
Projects from dried pine are exclusive and created from individual designs.
It allows for the creation of perfect comfort inside the constructed premises,
and satisfies the client’s aesthetic expectations.

Kelo is unique
Dry ‘dead standing’ pine has a fine silver colour, an original texture, a strong
fragrance of pine. With all its advantages, Kelo allows the imagination of
architects to flower, and bring to life the most ambitious and interesting
projects. Projects from dried pine are exclusive and created from individual
designs. It allows for the creation of perfect comfort inside the constructed
premises, and satisfies the client’s aesthetic expectations.
Houses made from KELO are Rovaniemi’s calling card, embodying, as they
do, the principle of ecological cleanliness achieved through the usage of
technologically advanced materials.
For building purposes, Kelo of different diameters, between 200 and 380 mm,
can be used dependant on the project and the personal preferences of the
client.
Each building made from KELO is therefore unique. On the one hand, the
work of master craftsmen, who work out of ancient traditions built up over
centuries, is much in evidence and, on the other hand, the logs of timber are
allowed to display their true beauty.
A house made from KELO will always stand out from other buildings. Walls
made of the grayish logs of different lengths and thicknesses are transformed
into real silver in the sunlight and the house takes on an almost fairy
tale quality. The inside of the house is also rather like a dream come true.
Additional decoration is not necessary, and the soft colour of the timber
radiates an atmosphere of peace and tranquility. In both summer and winter,
there is an optimal climate in a house made from KELO. This means that the
temperature is always comfortable and the atmosphere is both aesthetically
and psychologically pleasant.
With all its advantages, dried ‘dead Standing’ KELO allows the imagination
of architects to flower, and bring to life the most ambitious and interesting
projects.

Laminated Log - high quality processed material
which preserves its form during exploitation and does
not crack. It possesses higher durability due to the
special gluing technology and has excellent façade
surfaces along with a minimal level of shrinkage in
height (only 1-2%). It is also quicker to build.
Laminated Round Log are valued by people who
treasure classical wooden houses, since they are
pleasing to eye and look typically Russian. A house
made of round logs looks rather like a tower-chamber
out of Russian fairytales and is ecologically friendly.
Round Log is one of the most modern materials
used in wooden house building. It combines within
itself all the qualities of chinked laminated squared
log with the charm of the round forms of traditional
round logs.
16
Massive log is a widely known building
material. It is processed on specialized
high-precision equipment in order to
obtain perfect lines and correct sizes. It
is an ecologically clean material which
allows for a balance of the humidity
and the level of oxygen in the house,
which makes for a comfortable internal
microclimate.
Dried ‘Dead Standing’ KELO Pine is a building
material produced by hand. It is distinguished by
a fine silver colour, an original texture and a strong
fragrance of pine. The main advantages of this
timber, however, are the fact that its appearance
changes very little over time, the fact that it is
ecologically friendly and the fact that it has very
minimal moisture content. This results in an
almost complete absence of shrinkage.
Rovaniemi materials
Rovaniemi offers a wide range of building materials that are known in the
wooden house building industry, such as rounded logs, chinked square
logs, laminated square logs and laminated round logs. This is alongside one
exclusive material, dry ‘dead standing’ pine KELO. Each type of material has
a broad range of typo sizes. This is an advantage as it gives customers a wide
variety when choosing a material. Customers are therefore able to select the
most suitable size in accordance with specification and price of their house.
Different climatic conditions pertaining in the area where the house is to be
erected will also influence the materials used in construction.

Interior of a wooden house
Wood is a traditional natural material, which is associated with nature,
healthy lifestyle, ecology, and at the same time reflects perfectly the status of
its owner. Beautiful texture of this natural material, the unique wood pattern
gives the interior individuality by itself.
First of all, a country house should correspond to the lifestyle, habits, character
of the house owner that should certainly be reflected in the interior solutions.
But at the same time it is necessary that the general concept shall not only
be traced in the interior design, but some elements shall be harmonically
combined with each other, creating a certain image. Interior of the wooden
houses as well as any other house shall conform to the purpose and the area,
where the house is located.
As a rule, the interior design is started with development of the planning
concept, where the location of the main functional zones shall be approved,
and finished by the selection of furniture and decorative components that
shall perfectly fit into the design. Nowadays, the architects have plenty of
opportunities to use the modern elements and techniques in projects.
It may be double-height spaces, stain-glass facades, floor-to-ceiling
windows, bay-windows, winter gardens - all that creates a wonderful feeling
that you are in the house and outside at the same time.
There are always a lot of light and space in such houses and that the fact that
they try to draw attention to the interior design in the future.
The wood itself is aesthetically pleasing and very expressive, so the designers
and architects prefer to leave the walls of a wooden house such as they
are. They do not need for complicated wood-processing and high quality
of Rovaniemi materials allows you to leave the walls without additional
finishing. Beauty, natural warmth of wooden walls and their ability to absorb
the sounds make a cozy atmosphere in the house and amazing soothing
effect. If you still do not want that in the room interiors will be dominated
the natural wood, then the walls are tinted with the selected color and they
get the desired shade that does not hide the natural texture of wood, and the
certain interior items look excellent on its background.
First of all, a country house should correspond to the lifestyle, habits,
character of the house owner that should certainly be reflected in the
interior solutions.

Interior of a wooden house
In order that the interior of wooden houses shall not be bored with its
monotony, some experts in the field of design use something in between.
The ground floor may be made of wood, but decorated with other materials,
preferably natural. For this purpose the fabric, cork, stone, ceramics and glass
are quite acceptable. Otherwise it may be initially constructed of a different
material (gas concrete, brick). Just on the principle of a combination stone
low-level with wooden top structures are made. On the second floor of the
house the walls remain open, the wooden timber works are exposed and all
the advantages of natural wood are maintained: air humidity and oxygen
balance are maintained at the optimal level, the heat is evenly distributed
throughout the room.
However, there are many examples of the modern interior creation in such
house in style of art deco, constructivism and minimalism. In any case, a
variety of visual images shall decorate the interior, making it unique and
memorable.
The wooden houses interior can be designed practically in any style. If in the
house lives the family of several members of different generations, and in
order that every member of the family feels himself comfortable and most
convenient, then sometimes the mixture of different styles in the house will
be really necessary.
As a rule, in the design of the wooden house always is taken into account
the special warmth of this natural material, its environmental friendliness
and tranquility, by which the house is filled. Usually the wooden furniture,
ethnic style, classical concepts are used in the interior, besides the still-life
paintings, landscapes, rural country living items, hunting trophies, carved
wooden ornaments are often used.
