Founders story
Like all great inventions, ÖÖD was born out of a necessity — when brothers Jaak and Andreas wanted to go on a weekend hike. They didn’t want a traditional one-size-fits-all hotel experience — that was boring. What they needed was a small house in a beautiful spot on Mother Nature’s lap, but all they found were mediocre log houses of various sizes, that just didn’t cut it.
They felt the frustration of not having found the ideal accommodation that they had imagined and realized that there may be many others who felt the same way. They set out to build ÖÖD Hötels — accommodation, exactly the way they wanted.
Who we are
ÖÖD Hötels is a family-owned hotel development company founded in 2018 by two brothers Jaak and Andreas Tiik. ÖÖD Hötels grew out of a mirror house production company ÖÖD Houses that was founded in 2016 by the same brothers.
ÖÖD team members have been active in the construction sector for more than 19 years. During the few years of operation, we have developed ÖÖD projects for clients worldwide from Ghana to California to Iceland. Thanks to the far-reaching client base our award-winning houses have received attention from media across the world.
ÖÖD houses are beautiful, bold, stylish, and comfortable, yet their most significant trait is that they are designed to blend seamlessly with their surroundings. This has been our guiding philosophy — harmony with Nature. The moment you step into one of our houses, you’re engulfed in your surroundings, you become one with it, while safely cocooned within the confines of comfort.
ÖÖD concept allows anyone to jumpstart their accommodation business by offering hotel concepts with a modern design specifically catered to the client’s wishes and vision.

Our values & standards
EXPERIENCE
ÖÖD Hötels is not another traditional hotel. It's all about offering more than just an overnight stay - it's about the experience and creating memories. A getaway retreat where visitors can actually disconnect.
NATURE
Our dream is to change the understanding of nature's hospitality. ÖÖD design is all about nature - houses that blend into the environment and won't create almost any visual footprint. A fully harmonized design that honors the surrounding with its reflections.
PRIVACY
Privacy is one of the core values when selecting new locations and planning houses. ÖÖD Hötels offers a short-term escape from everyday life and routine. Nowadays, life has become more fast-paced so it's healthy to fully disconnect yourself so you can truly connect once again.
Business opportunity
ÖÖD has started to roll out the ÖÖD Partnership and ÖÖD Franchise Model to address private landowners who seek to operate the houses, and who are interested in an investment-light way to kickstart their hospitality business.
Partnership Model
With ÖÖD Partnership Model we address existing hospitality operators who are interested in complementing their current offering and generating additional income in an “investment-light” way. Quite simply, the partners have land and operate the houses, while ÖÖD provides the Mirror Houses in return for a revenue share.
Franchise Model
With ÖÖD Franchise Model we offer private landowners the opportunity to kickstart their own hospitality businesses. In the ÖÖD Franchise model, the franchisees will buy the ÖÖD house and operate the house under the ÖÖD Hötels brand. ÖÖD will actively support the franchisees with central marketing and branding in return for an ongoing franchise fee.
