Posh Prefab house


Looking for a sophisticated prefab retreat, Sommerhaus Piu prefab house by Patrick Frey & Björn Götte is the answer. Located in Germany, the wooden prefab is simply laid out, elegant in form, and completely versatile depending on your needs. This prefab design draws upon the beauty of the surrounding landscape, with its slightly pitched roof angles for increased light. The large deck of Sommerhaus Piu prefab house extends the living quarters into the great outdoors.

This two-bedroom wooden prefab cabin can be used as a vacation home, studio space, home office or even a primary home. Coming in at less than 70 sq meters, there’s enough room for two simple bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchenette and an amply sized living and dining area in this sleek prefab house. Sommerhaus Piu prefab has floor-to-ceiling sliding doors; for bringing the views in & expanding the living space to the outdoors. An abundance of daylight flows into the public spaces while the back bedrooms of the prefab are more intimately covered for privacy.
Sommerhaus Piu prefab house has large roof overhangs protecting it from the elements, letting in filtered light through the slats to the clerestory windows. A high window reaching from the kitchen into the bathroom pulls light into the inner recesses of this prefab home. The exterior is clad in thin horizontal strips of naturally finished wood, accented with slate colored slats. Patrick Frey and Björn Götte designed prefab home enables people to spend their time in a place which they can afford, not only in summer, but all year round.
