Your Choice

Bauhu Homes can be personalised in this manner allowing you to choose finishes to your own personel taste. Our interior designers can help with this.

Structural Engineering
  • Bauhu homes are made in a factory and delivered in sections, so the structure can be erected very quickly. Buildings are structurally engineered to ASCE 7-22 (The American Society of Civil Engineers Code) and designed for high wind and seismic locations.

Bermuda Style Island Roofs
  • A modern Bermuda style roof is a design that features a low-pitched, hipped roof with a central ridge. The roofs sides are extended to form a deep overhang that provides shade and protection from the sun and rain. This design is similar to the traditional Bermuda roof, but with a more modern twist.

Water Saving Faucets

Ceramics
  • Bauhu Homes are provided with an exquisite selection of floor and wall finishes made to order by one of Portugal’s leading ceramics manufacturers.

Permitting & Compliance

Hurricaine Safe

Bauhu homes are built using a modular design, which means that they are constructed off-site in a factory and then assembled on the building site.
