Tiny Houses: Brette’s Foldable Off-Grid Pop-Up

Foldable Off-Grid Pop-Up: Transformable architecture 101
Brette Haus came with an idea: think about a suitcase. You have to unfold a briefcase. Brette Haus took this perspective for prefabricating folding houses with the unique 100-cycle hinge system (you will have 149% more usable space). Imagine a cozy, comfortable home wherever you choose to live.

Tiny House: What Kind Of Materials?
Brette Haus chose to use an extraordinary combination of materials: cross-laminated timber technology and a patented hinge system. Using orthogonal layers of wooden lamellas in special press conditions reduce the risk of house shrinkage. Not only that, but it also improves insulation, and therefore sustainability.
Brette Hause: The Interior
Everything in the house is very organized: you do not have to worry about something breaking when you're driving on the road. The cabins use 99% less water than standard site-built houses. Also, they produce 80% less waste. Brette Haus wants to build a home with a positive environmental impact, so they use only natural materials. Did you know that wooden houses do not require air conditioning? Air is coming through the microscopic pores, so the room is organically ventilated due to the constant circulation of air. Wood has electrostatic properties that guarantee that no static electricity will be generated inside the house. This is perfect for people who are suffering from allergies. Every home is equipped with all technical facilities: electric wiring, sewage, and plumbing. Each apartment is provided with lights, toilet, sink, shower, kitchen worktop, and mixer taps.

Brette Foldable Hause: How Practical Are Folding Houses?
Very practical. You do not need a permanent foundation. You can place the home on any leveled base. However, we recommend you using a screw pile foundation. You can remove it with minimal impact on the land. With the same foundation, you can relocate multiple times. Besides, it does not require much paperwork. You can compare folding homes to the mobile estate, so a lot of countries do not require a building permit. But how do you move?
The options:
- you could rent a crane truck to fold, relocate, and unfold your tiny house. You will need two people to help to lift and unfolding the cabin.
- Brette Haus delivers your home to the place you want. This option guarantees you that it will only take three hours to unfold your house.
