Habitat Haus LLC

Habitat Haus is an Austin-based design-build firm specializing in custom homes, ADUs, residential developments, and large-scale renovations. Founded by Jorge Alzaga, the company brings more than 20 years of industry experience and has contributed to the construction of over 100 homes throughout the Austin area. Habitat Haus is known for its modern architectural approach, quality craftsmanship, and commitment to creating homes that prioritize longevity, wellness, and quality of life.

Unlike traditional construction models that separate design and construction teams, Habitat Haus follows an integrated design-build process that streamlines communication, improves efficiency, and ensures each project remains aligned with the client’s vision from concept through completion.
