Paris-based award-winning architecture design studio, Cutwork has created ReHome, an off-site modular construction solution that while originally conceived to address the housing crisis in war-torn Ukraine, seeks to address the global housing crisis equally in times of emergency and stability and the human right to shelter.

Cutwork is actively seeking partners and developers who want to address the need for affordable housing around the world and let ReHome be a part of the solution.

Working with the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ – German Society for International Cooperation), ReHome was initially developed as a low-cost, rapid-deployment housing solution to rebuild Ukraine, beginning with a demonstrator project in Lviv to showcase the concept. Known previously for their acclaimed Cortex Shelter project – Cutwork’s pioneering self-built, low-cost, long-term, ‘just add water’ housing solution to counteract the critical humanitarian crisis in refugee housing – ReHome was at first the studio’s response to rebuilding a war torn country not only after the war, but during time of conflict when it is most needed.

ReHome is Cutwork’s vital and immediate response to the general housing shortage.

Its off-site modular system is able to accommodate many and changing numbers of people comfortably, being easily adaptable and expandible for more spacious living according to the evolving needs of its inhabitants.

The modular architecture is far cheaper, easier, and faster to produce than traditional construction methods and can be actioned without any of the time or geographical restraints so commonly associated with housing developments.
