Meet the RUIMHUIS!

Amid this progressive construction era displaying a shift towards sustainable and carbon conscious building, the heavy demands for intelligent and immediate housing solutions remain insistent. As a amalgamated product of both parts, the RUIMHUIS is born.
This adaptable housing scheme created by DeHoven is comprised of a series five [unique] living units, formulated to be interchangeably configurable as desired within the humble frame of a back-to-back modular construct.
The length and shape of the building is easily extended, shortened or kinked to suit any site and found to be most economical between three and five storeys in height.
From its concealed timber bones to the subtle wave of its organic façade (and everything in between) it is characterised in all aspects by its green roots whilst still being at the forefront of new building technology and contemporary ways of living available to any site in as little as 6 months.
This novel solution is now ready to be brought to life, realized through the meticulous refinement of DeHoven’s three fields of focus and research, all considerately curated by the collaborative effort of a complex and experienced team of 20 professionals, committed to improving the built environment. Meet our team here.
Let’s make something awesome together
