kitHAUS revolutionizes the conventional rules of prefab in a way that's as innovative as it is fexible. Our Modernist modules are built solid with a patented lightweight M.H.S. construction system, that gives you several advantages over conventional building practices. Our modules are constructed on site in a matter of days, not months, and because of its lightweight properties can get into the hardest-to-reach places, without heavy equipment. We at kitHAUS have pre-engineered several configurations from modest stand alone single units, perfect for that weekend retreat, backyard office or studio to more aggressive multi unit configurations. We have also partnered with state of the art solar technologies giving you the option of off-grid or grid-tie possibilities, customized to our kitHAUS configurations. Just think of the possibilities, starting now.

Woodlabo is a passionate team who design and manufacture interior lighting in wood. Spacecraft from a borderless world, an invitation to travel between nature and space. Woodlabo, set up in Finland in 2010 and now based in France, shares a love of human values, simplicity, challenges and expertise. Woodlabo takes on architects’ bespoke projects: rescaling, lighting, fitting, adaptation for outdoors and creating new forms developed from standard models. The lights are designed to produce minimum offcuts, which are then reused to heat the workshop. We only use wood from European sustainable forests. Packaging for the lights is also wooden. Our partners, whose expertise complements our own, are all located within a radius of 300 km. www.woodlabo.com
