The Zen Bungalow
About This Home
The Zen Bungalow by Trident Modular is a single-storey prefab home with a Japanese-inspired design language. At just over 51 m², the layout is compact but avoids feeling cramped, with open-plan areas and large double-glazed windows drawing in natural light and connecting the interior to the garden.
Optional Shoji-style sliding panels allow rooms to be divided or opened up depending on use, and an integrated Zen garden can be specified during the design stage. Eco-friendly materials and high-performance insulation underpin the construction, and the home is available with electric heating, full plumbing, and optional solar panels. A ten-year structural warranty is included, and professional project management covers the process from planning to installation.
The design sits closest to a wellness or retreat brief, and works well as a holiday home, studio or primary residence for someone prioritising calm over space.
What We Love
Shoji-style sliding panels and an optional integrated Zen garden are genuinely unusual spec choices that set this apart from generic modular bungalows.
