The Backcountry Hut Company

The Backcountry Hut Company is a Canadian designer and manufacturer of prefabricated, flat-packed cabin systems, founded in Vancouver in 2015 by Wilson Edgar and a small group of partners. Its structures are conceived as simple recreational buildings that can be delivered as a kit of parts and assembled on remote sites with minimal impact on the ground.

The catalogue is organised in numbered systems, from the A-frame System 00 to the cabin Systems 01 and 02, the latter developed with Leckie Studio Architecture + Design, up to the all-in-one System 03. The huts combine a modernist Nordic language with engineering for off-grid conditions, and the company ships its kits from British Columbia across North America.
