Are You an Architect or Designer in Serbia?
- Have a concept for a wooden prefabricated house?
- Want to integrate CLT, Glulam, LVL, and other sustainable materials?
But...
- Need help finding a suitable manufacturer?
- Factories not understanding your project and either refusing or overcharging?
- Facing issues with drawings and design?
My Journey
Thirteen years ago, I faced the same challenges. I transitioned from struggling with concepts to achieving international recognition. Today, my designs are regularly featured in global publications.
Introducing Prefab Lab
Recently, I founded Prefab Lab where we:
- Offer personalized consulting for construction and design based on the latest trends in modular real estate.
- Adapt European and Scandinavian timber construction technologies to the specific needs of the Balkan market.
- Connect you with manufacturers who can deliver your project to your specifications.
- Promote modular projects, ensuring their growth in the market.
- Overcome prejudices preventing clients from choosing wooden architecture.
- Act as integrators between architects, production, and assembly companies.
- Implement CLT, Glulam, LVL, and other engineered wood products in contemporary architecture.
My Experience
But before this, I underwent a long journey:
- 13 years in the prefabrication industry.
- 6 years working with modular projects in Northern and Western Europe.
- 2 years working on projects in Serbia, Montenegro, and Bosnia.
During this time, my team and I:
- Developed and promoted housing brands in Europe such as Brette Haus, Tiny Villa, and Bon Cabin.
- Featured in over 100 architectural publications, including Dwell, Dezeen, and Fieldmag, and mentioned in 5 architecture books.
- Established production facilities in the Baltics, Czech Republic, and Serbia.
Why I Founded Prefab Lab
Simply put, we want to share our expertise and create projects worthy of publication in the world's leading architectural media and books. I aim to advance architecture and Serbia’s economy, as Serbia has become my new home. I enjoy working where I live and living where I work.

Ready to Collaborate?
If you've read this far, you’re genuinely interested in this partnership. Hello, I’m Gennadii Bakunin. I bring conceptual architecture to life, create premium recreational sites, and design transformable houses — and I love it.
I was invited to ASAP Talks #14 (Association of Serbian Architectural Practices) and we spoke about experience exchange between new comers and local architects. I think you’ll find a few excerpts from our conversation interesting.
