About This Home

The Minihus Kuusela is a 45 m² two-bedroom model from Scandinavian Homes, built to Passive House criteria with a closed-panel timber frame and insulated raft foundation. Mineral wool and PIR insulation are used alongside triple-glazed windows and doors, and an air-to-water heat pump is available. The layout includes a combined living, dining, and kitchen area with an option for a small terrace or deck.

Multi-functional spaces and built-in storage are incorporated throughout. Smart home integration is available, and the design is accessible for wheelchair users. The build suits primary residences, holiday homes, or garden rooms in Ireland. Nordic timber and sustainable materials are used throughout, consistent with the wider Scandinavian Homes range.

What We Love

Passive House certification in a 45 m² two-bedroom home with full wheelchair accessibility is an unusual combination. Most compact builds trade accessibility or performance to hit the price. The Kuusela does not appear to.
