Small Houses

A compact home — large enough to live in fully, small enough to keep simple and affordable.

At 34 m² (365 sq ft), the Oslo and Oslo Grand are small houses in the true sense. The Oslo Double is for those who want more space.

Questions

Common questions about small houses

How big is the home?
34 square metres, which is equal to 365 square feet. Opened out it measures 5,800 × 6,580 × 2,500 mm externally; closed for shipping it is 5,800 × 2,150 × 2,500 mm.
What is the feeling inside compared to a conventional home?
The smaller size and lower ceiling create a more intimate feel and space.
Why is the price higher for developed countries?
If you are from a developed country, the price will be a bit higher because we need to use your country's standard fittings. Take Australia: we could not use a cheaper Chinese-standard toilet, and would have to use an Australian-standard toilet that is priced higher.
