Grand House 103 is a single-storey house with a terrace, designed in a modern barn style, intended for a family of four. The layout includes a spacious 37 m² living room with a kitchen annex, three well-proportioned bedrooms, two large bathrooms, a utility room, and a vestibule.
Storage spaces—often overlooked in other designs—have been given high priority. The house features a generous vestibule with a built-in wardrobe recess, a utility room for storing items and technical equipment, a walk-in closet in the master bedroom, and numerous alcoves and recesses intended for additional wardrobes.
The building complies with the technical requirements defined by the WT2021 regulation. It is a year-round, energy-efficient home with insulation parameters very close to passive house standards. The house meets all conditions required for obtaining a full building permit.
With the use of modern ventilation, heating, cooling, and renewable energy systems, the house can be built to meet the net-zero energy standard, meaning the total balance of energy produced and consumed annually equals zero.
Our modern, prefabricated single-storey house is ideal as a permanent residence for a family of four. The house is divided into a bedroom zone on one side and a living zone on the other. The smart room layout ensures comfortable living conditions while also offering beautiful views through the large terrace windows.
The house provides everything needed for year-round living: a spacious kitchen with living room, three bedrooms, a walk-in closet, two bathrooms, a vestibule, and a utility room.
The utility room has space for a washing machine, and is ready for the installation of larger sanitary systems such as a water softener, pressure pump, water heater, or heat pump.
The open-plan kitchen and living area on the ground floor is the central hub of the household—a place for everyday family life and gatherings with friends. The living room has been designed to accommodate the entire family comfortably. Thanks to the fireplace designed into the living space, we believe the warmth of home will take on a deeper meaning.
The non-usable attic is additional space not counted in the house’s official area. It provides a large storage zone, ideal for bulky or seasonal items.
The facade of our house is finished with spruce cladding. The roof is covered with modular metal roofing tiles. The window joinery includes six-chamber, triple-glazed windows, installed using the warm installation method.
The main insulation of the house consists of mineral wool or, optionally, Steico Zell blown-in wood fibre. The house is additionally insulated with Steico thermal insulation boards.
Our prefabricated timber frame house design is available in three finishing options:

We build our walls using certified KVH structural timber, finger-jointed and glued, with a cross-section of 60 x 160 mm. This timber contains 47% more raw material than standard Scandinavian beams with a 45 x 145 mm cross-section. The more massive wall structure significantly improves the building’s statics and the mechanical performance of structural joints.
Additionally, instead of standard gypsum plasterboard, we use Fermacell gypsum fibre boards as the interior wall finish. Fermacell boards are twice as dense and therefore significantly harder than standard plasterboard, which greatly improves the building’s structural performance and fire resistance. These boards are also moisture-resistant, making them suitable for wet areas.
Our German heavy frame construction system, combined with double wall stiffening using Fermacell and MFP P5 boards, ensures that our buildings meet the requirements of Poland’s highest wind and snow load zones as standard.
The walls and roofs of our houses are additionally insulated with 6.0 cm thick Steico insulation boards. This results in a total wall insulation thickness of 27.0 cm [Uw = 0.135 W/m²K] and roof insulation of 30.0 cm [Uw = 0.126 W/m²K]. These boards significantly improve the thermal transmittance coefficient (Uw) of the building envelope and, due to their high specific heat capacity (Cw), also protect against overheating in summer. Additionally, they enhance acoustic insulation.
As a result, our homes qualify as premium in terms of both energy efficiency and soundproofing. Wood fibre boards are vapour-open materials that can be installed on the exterior side of the structure. Unlike polystyrene or OSB boards, which block moisture escape when placed on the exterior, wood fibre boards allow for proper moisture diffusion, significantly extending the life of the structure and preventing mould and mildew growth.
The installation battening we use on the interior side of the walls serves as a dedicated space for mounting electrical boxes, running cables in conduits, and concealing water pipes. This additional installation cavity is designed to protect the vapour barrier from being punctured.
Failing to use an installation cavity—and instead embedding installations directly into the main wall structure—leads to puncturing the vapour barrier. This allows water vapour to penetrate the structure and the main insulation layer, ultimately degrading the wall system and contributing to mould and mildew growth within the building.
The installation cavity eliminates this issue by preserving the continuity and airtightness of the vapour barrier, as all utilities are placed within the secondary battening layer. This cavity also provides an additional 5 cm layer of insulation.
Thanks to this wall system design and the high quality of materials we use, we confidently offer a 30-year warranty on the structural integrity of our homes.
