WHO WE ARE

An innovative architectural start-up focused on addressing the housing crisis through the design and development of prefabricated modular homes. Our mission is to provide scalable, sustainable, and affordable housing solutions tailored to meet the diverse needs of communities. Our focus is on creating cost-effective and efficient alternatives to traditional home renovations, offering homeowners an innovative way to utilize shed spaces as additional living or working areas.

We believe that our modular sheds present a quicker, more affordable solution compared to the complexity of renovating laneway homes or making extensive modifications to existing properties. Our first project was constructed using leftover materials from the owner's renovation, along with sustainably sourced materials from small lumber businesses and wood offcuts from a local fab lab studio.

THe birth

The concept for SCHTAÜSS emerged unexpectedly during a casual day at the beach with a friend. Observing the abundance of driftwood along the shore, the idea struck: what if this material could be repurposed to construct a functional shed? This simple, spontaneous thought became the foundation of what would later evolve into SCHTAÜSS.
