Fuksioimaan

Fuksioimaan is a traditional form of wooden folk architecture formerly found in the Ostrobothnia region of Finland.

It is characterized by the use of log cabins with churches and homes in rural areas. Fuksioimaan homes often featured a simple and functional design, incorporating local wood and materials.

The name "fuksioimaan" is thought to be derived from the word "fuksio," meaning "fine logs." These structures typically had an elongated shape, symmetrical structure, and a combination of two-story dwellings and smaller outbuildings.

The main features of fuksioimaan architecture include small, unadorned surfaces, minimal use of ornamental details, and an emphasis on aesthetics achieved through simplicity. In terms of materials, traditional fuksioimaan homes commonly utilized logs and other locally sourced wood products.

The buildings nearest to fuksioimaan style lie in Savo, and the series of constructions in the Saimaa region showed a defect known as Savo-destination. Possibly developed and originated north of Tyrävallankylä, possibly as old cabooses remains.
