Minihus
About This Home
The Minihus is the series overview model for Scandinavian Homes' compact range, spanning from 25 to 50 m². All models in the series use a closed-panel timber frame with mineral wool and PIR insulation and triple-glazed windows. Roof styles include pitched and mono-pitch options with mixed cladding. Multi-functional layouts and built-in storage are consistent across the range.
Air-to-water heat pump and solar panel options are available for off-grid or low-dependency use. Modern plumbing and electrical installations meet Irish standards throughout. The range works across primary residences, holiday homes, and home office applications. Build times run 12 to 14 weeks. A coherent family of small homes with a consistently strong energy specification.
What We Love
The optional solar panel and air-to-water heat pump combination makes off-grid or near off-grid living genuinely achievable within the Minihus range, which is an unusual proposition at this compact scale.
