Swedish company Kenjo is back with a new prefab called Friluftsstugan, or Outdoor Cottage. The new cottage was designed by Johan Svartnäs and comes complete with a movable roof. The upper roof slides out over the exterior wooden deck to make way for a covered outdoor space.
Above you’ll see the roof halfway extended revealing the folding glass doors that slide out of the way to create an open room. Whether closed or open, you always have the deck available.
The cottage comes preassembled and is lifted into the position you desire. It’s 15 square meters (or 161 square feet), plenty of room to fit a decent amount of furniture in. When the roof is extended, the covered space more than doubles.
The interior of the enclosed room and underneath part of the roof is covered in untreated, white wood panels giving it a cozy look. The walls, ceiling, and floor are insulated for year-round use and the cabin is also outfitted with power so you can use the cottage for whatever you like.

This is absolutely delightful. I would so use this space to host dinner parties, especially on rainy days. Nothing is more relaxing than enjoying a nice dinner out in the rain without getting wet.

This is one of the most delightful additions to a backyard I’ve ever seen. The combination of cottage and deck are absolutely gorgeous, and the fact that it has a power source makes it pure luxury.

Looks interesting — I’m intrigued how the roof moves across.

Beautiful design, great idea. I’d would be curious to know how exactly its delivered – you mention that it’s lifted in to place, so sounds like it comes as a “one piece”, which means you would need some sort of a crane to get it in to the backyard – cranes are not cheap, especially depending how high the crane has to go (how many stories to clear the house) and how deep. Still a great idea / project.
