Inspired by years of experience repurposing shipping containers as well as the Malibu residents’ structural needs during rebuilding after the devastating Woolsey Wildfire, Burdge and Garnero developed Buhaus. At 160 sq feet, Buhaus is comfortable, customizable and compact and is equipped with a bedroom and bathroom space. Deriving from the 20th century German architectural movement “bauhaus”, Buhaus is our model for Malibu. Buhaus structures are likewise characterized by linear and geometrical forms and feature savvy design, fire resistant materials, and off-grid capabilities.
