Simple Foundation Requirements


Most of our pods require minimal foundation work. In lightweight applications, compacted soil and concrete pads are sufficient for installation. For more complex sites, a screw pile (geo screw) foundation may be used—ensuring a stable, efficient, and non-invasive base that’s quick to install and adaptable to various ground conditions.

Lean Manufacturing – Built on Efficiency and Purpose


At Arboretum Haus, sustainability is embedded in everything we do - from our use of natural materials to resource-efficient production methods. Our focus on eliminating waste and maximizing value drives both our environmental goals and the quality of our products.

We apply lean manufacturing principles throughout the entire process—from design and planning to production and delivery. Inspired by proven industrial practices, this method allows us to deliver precision-built components on time, to specification, and with minimal material waste.

By continuously optimizing our workflows and reducing inefficiencies, we ensure our clients receive reliable, high-quality solutions—faster, smarter, and with a lighter footprint.

Energy Efficient (KfW 40 Standard)

Our buildings are designed to meet the KfW 40 energy efficiency standard—consuming only 40% of the energy of a conventional new build. Through high-performance insulation, airtight construction, and smart building technologies, we help reduce operating costs while maximizing environmental performance.

Fire Protection & Sound Insulation

Our timber-hybrid construction meets the highest standards in both fire safety and acoustic performance. All components are tested and certified to comply with local fire protection regulations, while advanced sound insulation systems ensure maximum comfort and privacy—ideal for residential, hospitality, and mixed-use projects.

Structural Integrity

Our buildings are engineered for strength, stability, and long-term performance. All structural elements are designed in compliance with Eurocode and local building standards, ensuring safety, load-bearing capacity, and resilience across various building types and site conditions. Timber-hybrid systems offer a lightweight yet robust structure—ideal for both new builds and urban infill projects.
