Prefab & Cabins
Design-led cabins, saunas and prefabricated houses — architecture built in a workshop and set down in the landscape.
Prefab & Cabins is the largest scale this directory covers: whole buildings, from a garden sauna to a four-bedroom family house, designed and largely built in a workshop before they reach the site.
6 Prefab & Cabins brands — mostly from United Kingdom, Romania, Netherlands
About prefab & cabins
The entries split into two traditions. One is craft-led — saunas and cabins shingled, axe-jointed or charred by hand, where the building is closer to a very large piece of furniture. The other is system-led — modular timber or aluminium structures engineered for speed, energy performance and repetition, often aimed at hospitality operators as much as private owners. Northern and Eastern Europe dominate both, from the Baltics to the Netherlands.
Prices here run from the cost of a good car to the cost of a house, and the headline figure rarely includes foundations, delivery, craning or connection to services. Treat every price as a starting point for a conversation.
What to look for
- A clear statement of what the price includes: foundations, transport, installation, interior fit-out.
- Insulation and energy figures stated plainly, especially for anything sold as year-round living.
- Timber species and cladding treatment, and how the exterior is expected to weather.
- Built examples you can visit or rent before committing.
