Prime House 83 is a modern barn-style home designed for a family of 3 to 4 people. The layout includes a spacious 28 m² living room with kitchen annex, three well-proportioned bedrooms, and two large bathrooms.
Storage space — often neglected in other projects — has been made a priority. The house features a spacious vestibule with room for built-in wardrobes, a storage area under the stairs, and multiple alcoves and recesses designed for additional wardrobes and shelving.
The building complies with the technical requirements set by the WT2021 regulation. It is a year-round, energy-efficient building, fully compliant with all requirements for a full building permit.
As the house features a fully usable attic, it cannot be built under notification as a recreational (BRI) building. Construction of houses with usable attics requires a full building permit or formal notification as a residential building (with full architectural documentation).
Our modern barn-style house is an excellent solution for permanent living for a family of four. Due to its functional layout and original design, it’s also a great option for short-term rental to larger groups. The house comfortably offers sleeping space for up to 8 guests.
The house provides everything needed for year-round comfort: a spacious kitchen with living area, three bedrooms, a vestibule, a technical room, and two bathrooms, one of which includes space for a bathtub.
The technical room accommodates a washing machine, and allows for the installation of larger sanitary systems such as water softeners, a pressure booster set for the heat pump, or heat recovery ventilation (HRV).
The open-plan living and kitchen area on the ground floor serves as the heart of the home—a space for family life and gatherings. With a fireplace designed into the living area, we believe the warmth of the home takes on even deeper meaning.
The upper floor, where the bedrooms are located, provides privacy and the opportunity to enjoy beautiful views through large windows.
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.
