We are FoldHaus.
We build experiences that are both poetic and robotic. Our art balances the modern tension between technology and nature, using engineering and design to bring origami to life, and bring community together.

Yurt (2010)
A foldable and airy shade structure that was FoldHaus' first piece created for for Burning Man and became the foundation of its future art works.
(more details coming soon)
RadiaLumia, our latest piece, is a five-stories tall structure, covered by undulating origami shells. Inspired by radiolaria, a tiny protozoa with intricate mineral skeletons that covered the desert thousands of years ago, it brings back a little piece of what lived on the Playa when it was once the sea floor.
