Pre-built homes are becoming increasingly popular. They are more affordable, energy-efficient, and don’t take as long to build.
If you are unsure of what these types of homes actually are, they are houses that are manufactured off-site in advance and are then shipped and assembled at any selected location.
Within this though, there are three main types of homes. Modular homes, which are created in sections and transported to the selected location for assembling and construction.
They are the most expensive option as there is more building done on-site than the other options. Manufactured homes, which are built on steel beams and are then transported from where they’ve been manufactured in complete sections. Lastly, we have mobile homes.
These are built on wheels and can be transported. They are also known as trailers.
Pre-built homes, also referred to as prefabricated homes, are usually less expensive than traditionally built homes. Some reasons for this are that the factories that build these houses tend to supply the materials in bulk.
They are also faster to build since you don’t have to worry about weather delays or delivery delays as everything is constructed in one factory.
This in turn reduces cost too. Some manufacturers have used a creative approach to construct some very quirky, lovely homes. So whether you are looking to downsize or find yourself a little holiday getaway, we have picked out our favourite interesting tiny pre-built homes for you.

This could be perfect for a little art studio, playhouse for children or storage shed. The only downside of this construction is that there are no toilet facilities so it wouldn’t be livable day and night. However, as stated earlier it would be a lovely extension to one’s home.

17.Avon By Modern Tiny Living
Another wonderful construction by Tiny Modern Living is the Avon. This home differs slightly as it is built as a rental unit, and so does not have as much storage space as our other options.
Despite this, it is still representative of this company’s beautiful designs and attention to detail.
18.Cube Two X by Nestron
What makes this option so interesting is its futuristic design. Its long paneled windows give you natural light and an opportunity to enjoy the view outside. What sets this option apart is its wet and dry bathroom area.
We’ve all struggled in a small bathroom, where everything gets wet.
This construction is the answer to that problem. Its layout is designed to separate the wet and dry zones, preventing unnecessary items from getting wet and preventing mold!
19.Legend Two by Nestron
Also by Nestron we have Legend two. This design has a cozier feel than the previous cube 2, as it incorporates classical elements into its design.
These include some wonderful french windows which allow you to appreciate the scenery from your doorstep. It has a less futuristic feel than the previous model on this list, so if you are after something slightly less modern and a bit cozier, this is the option for you.
20.KODA Loft By Kodasema
This minimalist option is available worldwide. Weighing half of its original concrete house, this makes this option more available in more places as it’s easier to move around.
