Other names:: What type of hut is this? This is an Open Hut: This is our own classification, there is no Finnish translation. But many cities & neighborhoods that are building new huts are not building a Laavu / Laavut anymore. They are building a more modern / comfortable hut. One that is more of a box shaped, with a roof and partially enclosed walls. It is still "open," exposed to the weather but still blocks the weather. Many will have a picnic bench inside, woodpile, axe & saw you can use. To find these on huts.fi use the advanced filter called “Type of Hut” select “Open Hut.” To learn the difference between this type of hut and the Finnish Laavu, go here: https://www.huts.fi/page/types-of-huts-in-finland
