Ground floor
Semi-Finished Modular Cabin
Nordic Dream.
A holiday cabin of 54 m² with one bedroom, complete on the outside, with the interior left for you to finish.
The model
Nordic Dream
in three lines.
Price inclusions, specification and delivery below are common to the whole semi-finished modular cabins range.
Use one
Your own vacation house, finished in stages
The house arrives closed, insulated and weathertight, so the phase that depends on weather and on a crane is already over. What is left is interior work you can spread over one season or three, with local trades and at a pace your budget sets.
Use two
A unit for accommodation, at a lower entry price
Most modular cabins we deliver across Europe end up as accommodation rather than private weekend houses — glamping sites, chalets to rent, small resorts. Semi-finished gets a larger building on the plot for the same starting budget, and the interior can be specified exactly to what you intend to rent.
Use three
A permanent second home for a family
Two bedrooms, two bathrooms and 57.37 m² of useful area make this a house rather than a cabin. It is the size at which people stop calling it a weekend place and start living in it for weeks at a time.
Floor plans
One cabin.
2 levels.
The areas of the levels add up — together they make one house of 42 m² of rooms.
Upper floor
Built area is measured from the outside, so it is larger than the sum of the rooms — how we measure.
Semi-finished
Your exterior is done.
The inside is yours.
A semi-finished modular cabin is built in our EU factory as prefabricated panels — walls, floor and roof elements, each one framed, insulated with 150 mm of rock wool, sealed with its vapour barrier and clad before it leaves. On your plot those panels become a complete building envelope: roof and rain system, PVC joinery, terrace structure. What is left is the second phase — installations and interior finishes, done by you or by a builder near the plot. It is the part of the prefab cabin where personal taste and local labour prices, which vary widely across Europe, actually change the outcome.
What the price does not cover at semi-finished
Inside, the cabin stays at vapour-barrier level. We state these items transparently from the start, in your personalised quote — nothing appears later.

Specification
What is behind
the panelling.
Common to the whole semi-finished modular cabins range, as calculated by our technical department.
From the outside in: battens 30 × 45 mm, timber frame 150 × 45 mm at 600 mm centres with 150 mm of rock wool between the studs, battens 30 × 100 mm, a vapour barrier with sd = 2.3, OSB 12 mm, pine panelling 19 mm and spruce panelling 12.5 mm. On a semi-finished cabin the panel is manufactured and delivered closed up to the vapour barrier, with the exterior cladding fitted — the interior lining at the end of that build-up belongs to your finishing phase. The insulation and the sealed barrier, which are what the U-value depends on, are already in the panel when it arrives.
Standing-seam steel roof (click system), 0.5 mm, with its rain system, counter battens 30 × 45 mm, Delta Vent S breathable membrane, OSB/3 15 mm, a vapour barrier with sd = 2.3, timber frame 200 × 45 mm at 600 mm centres with 200 mm of rock wool. On an A-frame like Luxury Up the roof is most of the envelope, which is why it carries the thicker insulation layer.
PVC joinery in a 76 mm Salamander profile with 24 mm double glazing, fitted on site as part of the assembly — including the full-height glazed gable that gives the model its front. Joinery is one of the items that is finished rather than left to you: the house is handed over closed and lockable.
A prefabricated wooden house weighs three to four times less than a masonry house of the same size, so it does not need a heavy raft. A concrete slab, a set of concrete or metal pillars, or ground screws are all enough on most ground. The exact solution depends on a geotechnical assessment of your plot, and the foundation is not part of the cabin price — but it is a smaller item here than it would be for a conventional build.
Semi-finished modular cabins travel as prefabricated panels rather than as finished modules, so the work on site is assembly: the team raises the wall panels on your foundation, closes the floor and roof structure, fits the roof with its rain system, installs the joinery and builds the terrace. That takes between 5 and 20 working days depending on the size of the model, and at 74 m² Luxury Up sits at the long end of the range. The assembly labour is inside the price — what is quoted per project is the transport and the number of trucks. The panels arrive palletised and are unloaded with a forklift, so no crane is needed; the scaffolding for the exterior finishes is provided by you.

Questions
Before you
choose a model
The questions we are asked most often. If yours is not here, write to us — we answer in one working day.
Ask us directlyA semi-finished cabin is manufactured in our factory as prefabricated panels — walls, floor and roof elements complete with their timber frame, 150 mm of insulation, vapour barrier and exterior cladding, made to the millimetre on a factory jig. Those panels are then assembled on your plot into a structurally complete, weathertight house: roof and rain system fitted, PVC joinery installed, terrace structure built. What is not done is the inside — installations and interior finishes. You or a local contractor complete the electrical and plumbing work, the kitchen, the bathroom, the flooring and the interior surfaces.
Because these are bigger houses, not because the price covers more. Semi-finished cabins run from 38 to 74 m² of built area, while the turnkey range stops at 47 m². A 74 m² shell costs more to build than a finished 18 m² studio, even though it arrives with the interior still to do. Compared model for model at the same size, semi-finished is always the cheaper way to buy.
The listed price covers the house as a complete envelope — the prefabricated panels with their structure and insulation, exterior cladding, roof, joinery and terrace structure — and, importantly, the labour to assemble all of it on your plot. Assembly is not billed on top. What the price does not cover is the interior: claddings, installations and interior doors, plus VAT, the foundation, transport and unloading (by forklift — the panels arrive palletised, so no crane is needed), the scaffolding for the exterior finishes, utility connections and the building permit. Every quote we send states these items separately.
The second phase is yours to run, with your own builder or a local contractor near the plot. We hand over the cabin with the technical drawings, so whoever does the finishing knows exactly where the frame, the services routes and the openings are. If you would rather not manage that phase at all, the turnkey range is the answer — those models arrive complete, up to 47 m².
Between 5 and 20 working days, depending on the size of the house. This is the point where the two ranges genuinely differ: a turnkey cabin arrives as one or more finished modules and is simply craned into place, while a semi-finished cabin arrives as prefabricated panels that are assembled on site, anywhere in Europe. The team raises the wall panels on the foundation, closes the floor and roof structure, fits the roof and its rain system, installs the joinery and builds the terrace — the same sequence on a plot in Romania or in Ireland. A 38 m² model like Mini A Kub sits at the short end of that range; the 74 m² Luxury Up, at the long end. Production in the factory runs in parallel with your site preparation, and the interior phase starts once the house is closed and weathertight.
Yes. The envelope is built with 150 mm of rock wool in the walls (U = 0.25 W/(m²K)) and 200 mm in the roof (U = 0.19 W/(m²K)), with a sealed vapour barrier throughout — a cabin you can use in winter, in any European region. Three models in this range are at or above 50 m² of useful area, which is the threshold where full NZEB compliance becomes mandatory; an additional layer of insulation in the walls and ceiling covers it. Ask for it at the quote stage.
Yes. We sell and deliver semi-finished modular cabins to more than 40 European countries, including France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Ireland, Austria, Italy and Spain. Transport is quoted per project, based on the number of trucks your model requires and the distance to your plot.
