Modular House Design

Modular concepts designed for scalable, buildable hospitality and living.

We develop modular house concepts with spatial logic, guest experience, transport-aware proportions and a design package that can move toward production partners.

What this service is

Modular home design built around prefabrication logic, not a site-built house forced into modules later.

We connect concept design, spatial planning, facade strategy and DfMA-ready coordination so a modular model can be priced, adapted and moved toward production with fewer redesign loops.

Private clients

Modern homes with a faster and more controlled construction pathway.

Hospitality operators

Repeatable cabins, glamping units, chalet villages and resort modules.

Manufacturers

Product-line concepts that can scale and be adapted to production constraints.

Investors

Models with base + upgrade logic for pricing, sales decks and rollouts.

What you get

A modular concept that respects transport, repetition, interfaces and factory handoff.

01

Space planning

Layouts optimized around modular constraints and user experience.

02

Module strategy

Sizing, transport-aware proportions and assembly sequence thinking.

03

Exterior concept

Facade composition, material logic and openings rhythm.

04

Coordination set

Plans, elevations and core dimensions for pricing and engineering.

05

Upgrade logic

Base + upgrades across finishes, glazing, autonomy and interiors.

06

Factory handoff

DfMA notes and interface intent to reduce production friction.

Process & timeline

From modular brief to a package manufacturers can understand.

The exact duration depends on model complexity and iteration count, but the workflow is designed to compress time compared with bespoke traditional design.

1

Feasibility and brief

Use case, budget logic, site constraints, manufacturer constraints and target schedule.

2

Concept planning

Layout, massing, facade intent and module strategy.

3

Design development

Coordination-ready drawings and model logic that can be priced and engineered.

4

DfMA handoff

Critical interfaces and details aligned for manufacturer production review.

5

Adaptation path

Next steps for site adaptation, engineering, permits and production drawings.

Fees

Modular house design pricing.

Production separates visual/product concept work from site-specific adaptation and production documentation. The new page makes that distinction explicit.

from EUR 1,200 ex-VAT

Basic Facade Concept

Best for: A reusable visual direction when no client plan is required.

Exterior-facing concept work for general marketing or early product positioning.

Included
  • Three facade concept views
  • General exterior style direction
  • Materials and palette principles
  • Reusable marketing copy for listings or presentations
Not included
  • Client-specific planning unless added
  • Site-specific adaptation
  • Working drawings, engineering, permits or production/shop drawings
EUR 3,850 ex-VAT

Premium Product Pack

Best for: A higher-touch modular concept with exterior, interior and sales material.

Concept-level package for a modular model that needs to feel market-ready.

Included
  • Concept-level planning and generic room schedule
  • Three facade concept views
  • Three interior views of key zones
  • Reusable sales deck / website / marketplace copy
  • Facade video included
Not included
  • Site-specific adaptation
  • Permit package, engineering and CNC-ready production drawings
Modular prices are indicative starting fees for concept-level work. Site adaptation, engineering, permits, manufacturer production drawings, surveys, foundations and installation planning are separate scopes.

Why it matters

Modular projects fail when production logic is added too late.

Designing for DfMA from the start reduces factory redesign cycles, late clashes and value engineering that damages the architecture.

What we need from you

Site basics, use case, target size, bedroom count, budget direction and decision cadence.

Deliverables

Planning layouts, facade intent, coordination dimensions, DfMA notes and upgrade roadmap.

Manufacturer fit

We can work with your manufacturer or help prepare a package that is easier to tender.

Autonomy logic

Off-grid, storage, solar and energy systems can be integrated where the budget and site support them.
