Open‑source modular structures—saunas, greenhouses, offices—built from standard lumber.
Use our free configurator to explore the modular system, visualize the structure in 3D, and see how the components come together to create space.
Open Source means you can use it commercially, modify it freely, and share your improvements.
Built from standard lumber and hardware. No exotic materials or special tools required.
When you buy a handbook, you're literally funding the next open-source prototype we build.
Every handbook includes complete 3D models, 2D drawings, and precise cut lists for zero waste.
Complete CAD files, cut lists, assembly guides, and living documentation.
Pre-order these professionally manufactured templates – perfect fits, zero waste. Manufactured after reaching minimum order quantities.
🎯 Ecosystem Pre-Order: Building a network of certified manufacturers • Your order funds the first certified partner • Join the open source shelter revolution
Laser-precision cuts ensure every piece fits exactly right.
Delivered straight to your door from our manufacturing partner.
Optimized cutting patterns minimize material waste.

Fewest parts, rustic aesthetic, forgiving construction. Perfect for learning manufacturing without needing precision. Your handbook purchase funds us getting good enough to build the complex stuff right.
Sauna (crawl): Basic structure, forgiving tolerances
Greenhouse (walk): More complex, tighter fits
Office/Other (run): Full complexity, zero margin for error
Most parts, tightest tolerances, zero margin for error. Water leaks destroy everything. We're building capability first before tackling the most demanding builds.
We're building the simplest, most forgiving structure first. This gets us good at manufacturing while giving you something valuable to build.
Two ways to support: Buy individual handbooks as they're released, or become a Lifetime Supporter and get everything we ever build.
If any handbook doesn't meet your expectations, we'll refund you in full—no questions asked.
High-quality lumber, fasteners, and polycarbonate panels for the prototype.
Traditional sauna heater with volcanic stones for authentic experience.
Professional ventilation system with heat recovery and safety controls.
Professional photography, detailed build guides, and complete CAD files.
💡 Every handbook purchase directly funds building real prototypes. When you buy a handbook, you're not just getting plans—you're funding the next generation of open-source hardware.
