Stefania is a single-storey modular house with two sections, a total area of 91.8 m2 and a usable area of 65.3 m2. In customer terms, this is a modular house 90 m2 in scale: not a compact weekend studio, but a fully fledged family format with a terrace, a long single-storey volume and calm architecture in the style of Scandinavian minimalism.
The project is suitable for a flat area, a suburban area, a country estate or a private estate, where it is important to have a house without stairs and with a direct connection to the terrace. There is no aggressive architecture here. Stefania works more softly: timber vertical cladding, narrow vertical windows, a gable roof and a covered terrace under the overhang of the roof.
Who is Stefania suitable for?
Stefania is a modular house for a family that wants a comfortable single-storey space without the complex maintenance of a large house. It can be considered for permanent residence, long-term seasonal living, guest use or a country plot where the house should be more than a place to sleep; it should be a normal living environment.
The strength of the project is the balance of space and simplicity. 91.8 m2 of total area is enough for a family scenario, but the house does not look excessive. For 2-bedroom modular homes in the UK, the important question is not only the number of rooms but how the layout, terrace and services are coordinated in the final specification. Stefania’s usable floor area of 65.3 m2 allows daily life to be planned without feeling temporary, while the 15.84 m2 terrace adds a separate outdoor area for relaxation.
Layout and daily logic
Stefania is designed as a long single-storey house. This is important for daily use: there are no stairs, all key areas can be on the same level, and the access to the terrace works as a natural extension of the living space. For a family, it is often more convenient than a compact two-story format, where part of the space is taken up by the staircase area.
The terrace of 15.84 m2 is located under the roof canopy. It can be used for morning coffee, summer lunch, evening relaxation or a quiet area near the entrance. It is not as large as in some recreational projects, but it is large enough to be more than a decorative strip by the door.
Separately, it is worth considering household scenarios: where to store outerwear, how to organize a laundry area, whether a pantry is needed, how to position the kitchen relative to the terrace, where there will be a private part, and where there will be a common one. In a modular home of this size, small decisions quickly become noticeable in everyday life.
Architecture, facade and materials
Stefania’s architecture is restrained and warm. An asymmetrical pitched roof forms the silhouette of the house, and the roof overhang above the terrace creates a sheltered outdoor area. The facade is built on natural vertical timber cladding alternating with dark metal inserts. Narrow vertical windows add rhythm without overloading the long facade.
The renderings clearly show the character of the house: a long single-storey volume, a covered terrace with chairs, a wooden facade, large windows on the side of the terrace, a calm environment with a lawn, trees and a pond. This project is not about demonstrative luxury, but about neat suburban architecture that can easily fit into a natural area.
Our typical designs use a pine or spruce timber frame treated with fire and biological protection. Basalt wool or Icynene foam can be considered for insulation, while the exact composition of the walls, roof, floor, windows and interior finishes is fixed in the specification. For Stefania, it is especially important to correctly coordinate the facade, roof, terrace and joints between the two modular sections.
Production, installation and foundation
Stefania is a modular house with two sections. This means that we prepare a significant part of the solution for installation at the production stage: section structure, facade, insulation, windows, services, internal specification and connection nodes. We have our own manufacturing facility in Lviv, Ukraine, so key solutions can be agreed before we go on site.
A separate indicator of our experience is 2,200 m2 of built area in completed projects. For Stefania, this matters because of the two-section modular design: the joining of sections, delivery, foundation preparation, utility connections and final finishes all need precise coordination.
The foundation for Stefania is selected after the site is assessed. Soil, slope, water level, equipment access, loads, operating format and utility connection points are taken into account. A single-storey modular house has a different placement logic from a compact module or two-story project, so foundation decisions should not be made without an examination.
Specification and possible changes
Stefania can be adapted for permanent residence, weekend cottage or long-term seasonal use. At the design stage, it is worth discussing the number and purpose of rooms, kitchen, bathroom, storage space, heating, ventilation, terrace, facade, interior finishes and utility connections.
A decision to buy a modular house for year-round living usually means that the client needs not just a shell, but a complete logic for living in winter and the off-season. This requires insulation, quality windows, ventilation, heating, protection of services against freezing, water supply, sewage and the right specification.
For a preliminary understanding of how different decisions affect the budget, you can use the house-building calculator. It helps to navigate construction types, insulation, roof, number of storeys and additional options, but the final estimate for Stefania should be estimated after the specification and plot are approved.
Characteristics of the project
The cost of Stefania depends on the configuration, foundation, delivery, facade, insulation, utilities, interior finishes and site preparation. To understand the general logic of the budget without the unconfirmed price of a specific project, you can review how much modular houses cost.
Similar projects
If a larger single-storey family home is required, it is worth comparing Stefania with Zubra. If you need a second floor, a sauna and an office, the logical alternative would be Frame. For a more compact two-story format, you can look at Quiet, and for a modern single-storey house with a large terrace – Modern.
FAQ
How much does the Stefania modular house cost?
The exact cost is determined after the specification is calculated. The budget is affected by the foundation, delivery, insulation, facade, windows, utilities, interior finishes, terrace and site preparation. The cost of the Stefania modular house should therefore be treated as an individual estimate, not as one fixed amount.
Is it possible to buy a Stefania modular house for permanent residence?
Yes, you can buy a Stefania modular house as a family format for regular or year-round living if you choose the right specification. This requires insulation, ventilation, heating, water supply, sewage and stable services.
Is Stefania suitable for year-round living?
Yes, with the right configuration, Stefania can be considered as a house for year-round living. It is important not to limit yourself to the facade and planning: you need high-quality insulation, heating, ventilation, windows, utilities and protection of communications from freezing.
Can Stefania's layout be changed?
Yes, the layout can be discussed at the design stage. Changes should be coordinated with the section joints, roof, services, terrace orientation and the final room schedule, especially if the house is planned for year-round living.
Is a terrace of 15.84 m2 enough for a family?
Yes, a terrace of this size already works as a full-fledged recreation area, and not just a site near the entrance. There you can place armchairs, a small table or a seasonal area for family evenings. Its format should be coordinated with the orientation of the house on the plot.
Can this house be registered as a residence?
It depends on the status of the land plot, project documentation, commissioning and local procedures. If Stefania is planned as the main residence, legal issues need to be checked before work starts.
