Prefabricated and modular housing in Serbia. Key points to successful projects

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.
