  •                 “Stüa is a nomadic collective that brings people together to activate spaces through building modular, transportable structures, centered around a communal oven. Our work invites communities to join a hands-on, co-creative process, using diverse construction techniques to shape shared spaces.

    We see the act of making bread—mixing water and flour into a living dough—as a metaphor for imagining and shaping our collective future. As we knead, we reflect on what we want our communities to be, and how we can break down rigid structures to create more inclusive, caring environments for everyone.

    Our work builds a network of connection between individuals, communities, and nature—like a mycelial web of shared stories and desires. Together, we create an evolving map of possibilities for the future.

Bringing communities together through sustainable architecture, STÜA develops cutting-edge modular structures to re-imagine contemporary public spaces. 



Built using ancient rammed earth techniques under an expert-led collaborative process, these distinctive cultural landmarks spark social cohesion through accessible, engaging multi-use social infrastructure.  At the heart of STUA’s communal hubs sits our signature oven modules, meticulously constructed from rammed earth using traditional techniques for contemporary community spaces.







Our modular oven systems leverage the structural durability, thermal mass, and earthy aesthetics of rammed earth, an ancient sustainable building method. Compacted raw earth forms the oven’s thick walls, providing a sturdy base while enabling custom structural additions.







STUA’s oven modules speak to our mission of honoring age-old cultural traditions of shared spaces anchored around fire and food. Beyond functionality, the very process of collective ramming earth connects communities while creating communal hubs.







The wood-fired ovens pay homage to gathering spaces of the past, designed specifically for baking, cooking, and coming together. Radiating gentle warmth, these modern hearths have space for community meals, workshops, and celebrations.

Our sustainable oven modules crafted of natural materials stand testament to our commitment to accessibility, collaboration, and unity across societies and generations. Ready for gatherings large or small, these gathering hearths tend to the basic human need for belonging.
