Brette Haus

Brette Haus, based in Riga, Latvia, is an innovative manufacturer specializing in foldable and modular prefab homes. The company focuses on creating portable structures designed for rapid deployment and mobility, targeting various sectors including recreation, wellness, emergency shelter, and residential living. Their patented hinge mechanism and space-doubling system ensure durability, with the ability to withstand over 100 folding cycles, making foldable housing as reliable and accessible as conventional homes. Brette Haus has three patents pending and ten more in development, demonstrating their commitment to continuous innovation. Brette Haus uses sustainable materials and construction methods. Their structures utilize wood fibre boards made from sawmill residues, such as sawdust and shavings, pressed into insulation boards without synthetic adhesives. These eco-friendly boards are recyclable, compostable, and absorb CO₂, combining strength, breathability, and durability while preventing thermal bridges. The boards are also treated to enhance fire, insect, and rodent resistance. For structural integrity, Brette Haus employs CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber) for floors, walls, and ceilings. CLT consists of layers of timber bonded at right angles, forming a strong composite suitable for both structural and aesthetic applications, which is crucial because folding houses place high stress on structural elements. This enables the company to create transparent glass cabins that open directly to nature, while maintaining structural strength. Brette Haus homes are designed for various applications. The "Tiny D" design is tailored for Scandinavian retreats, combining efficient prefabrication, durability, and aesthetic appeal for modern housing needs. The "ÆQUA" design focuses on wellness and recreation, with sauna-based blocks suitable for integration into business models and landscapes. The "Rustic Design" offers a portable living solution, emphasizing design, durability, and freedom. The company aligns with ESG principles, using renewable wood from responsibly managed forests and minimizing waste through precise production. Their structures are fire-resistant (REI 60) and earthquake-resilient. Brette Haus aims to offer sustainable and elegant housing for a modern, mobile lifestyle, promoting freedom of movement and harmony with nature. They have a 2-year warranty for all elements, with an estimated lifespan of 50+ years with proper care. Standard installation requires clear vehicular access to the building site and takes between 3 hours and 1 day, depending on site conditions and access. Lead time for manufacturing varies from 8 to 12 weeks depending on the factory workload. Brette Haus targets various markets, including hospitality, real estate, remote offices, and rapid community development. They also collaborate with entities like Prefab Lab to facilitate smart design adaptations and precise technical detailing. Their social media presence includes LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook, indicating active engagement with their customer base and industry partners.
