Kosmos-tilat is an ensemble of wooden architecture run by Field Studies Oy at Kontiolahti, combining accommodation, meetings and celebrations. The main building, Usva House, measures 370 square metres and is built from CLT panels and a digitally cut solid timber frame using traditional mortise joints, without nails or screws; the facade is charred by the Shou Sugi Ban technique and the design is by Ateljé Sotamaa. It holds four bedrooms for up to ten people, a 70-square-metre grand hall and four meeting rooms for four to six, a full kitchen and a sauna; meetings are held for 6 to 30 people, private dinners for 5 to 30 and cocktail events for 80 to 100. The grounds also hold the 28-square-metre relocatable Ufo mini house for one person, with underfloor heating, a landscape window and a composting toilet but no running water, and the Meteorite House completed in 2020, twelve metres high and 700 cubic metres in volume, which can be visited on a guided tour.
