We chose ground screws for Studio Haus because of their fast install, low cost, low environmental impact and durability. Concrete is one of the most carbon-intensive building materials, and replacing it with a steel-and-wood floor system drastically

What is Studio Haus?

Studio Haus is a Waterloo Architecture Thesis by Ian Bryane, Jake Farquharson and Jan Hendrikse. It culminates in the construction of a prototypical 65 sqm dwelling and “studio” in the village of Lärz, Germany. Studio Haus is unique in its dedication to using local materials to promote “rural resilience” and provide deeply affordable housing.
