Grand House 78 is a single-storey house with a terrace, designed in a modern barn style and tailored for a family of three. The layout includes a spacious 37 m² living room with kitchen annex, two well-proportioned bedrooms, a large bathroom, a utility room, and a vestibule.
Storage areas—often overlooked in architectural plans—have been given priority. The house features a spacious vestibule with a built-in wardrobe recess, a utility room for storage and technical equipment, a walk-in closet in the master bedroom, and various recesses and alcoves designed for additional wardrobes.
The building meets the technical requirements specified in the WT2021 regulation. It is a year-round, energy-efficient home, with insulation parameters very close to passive house standards. The house fulfills all criteria for construction with a full building permit.
With the use of modern ventilation, heating, cooling, and renewable energy systems, the building can be constructed to net-zero energy standard, where the annual energy balance is zero.
Our prefabricated single-storey house with a terrace is an excellent option for a permanent residence for a family of three. The house is divided into a bedroom zone on one side and a living zone on the other. The functional layout ensures comfortable living conditions while offering stunning views through large terrace windows.
The house offers everything needed for year-round living: a spacious kitchen and living area, two bedrooms, a walk-in closet, one bathroom, a vestibule, and a utility room.
The utility room provides space for a washing machine and allows for the installation of larger technical systems, such as a water softener, pressure booster set, water heater, or heat pump.
The open-plan kitchen and living room on the ground floor is the heart of the home—a space for family life and gatherings with loved ones. The smart layout ensures there’s enough room for everyone. With a fireplace integrated into the living area, we believe the warmth of home takes on even greater meaning.
The non-usable attic offers generous storage space not included in the official floor area, ideal for large 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.
