In recent years, mobile homes have become very popular and are used not only as a place to spend leisure time, but also as a permanent residence. The concept of these houses is unique – they can be moved to another location if needed, they do not require building permits, and they have a very short production time (MM Statyba offers houses with a 2-3 month production time!). In this article, we will look at the possible challenges and opportunities of choosing a mobile home as a place to live.
Challenge – limitations in certain aspects
Although mobile homes do not require a building permit, they also have exceptions. In the countryside, up to 80 m2, and within the city limits up to 50 m2. As a mobile home, it can be built on any plot, but each plot may have its own restrictions, environmental protection zones and so on, so we always encourage you to check the current situation before buying a mobile home.
Although the catalogue of modular homes is extensive, the structured size of the modules can also hinder certain unique design solutions. The balance between customisation and the efficiency of modular construction is an ongoing challenge.
The challenge is the potential lack of desired aesthetics
Scandinavian-style mobile homes may not meet everyone’s aesthetic expectations. From the colour of the house to the interior and exterior of the house, there are many design solutions. In addition, if the Scandinavian style is not to your liking, modular homes probably won’t meet your expectations either.
Critics often say that these houses do not have the charm and atmosphere of traditional houses. Advances in design and interior possibilities are slowly dispelling this perception, allowing modular home owners to customise their spaces to reflect their unique tastes.
The opportunity to save
Mobile modular homes are cost-effective and have lower construction costs than traditional buildings. This can enable more people to buy a home. Their construction is quick and efficient, so choosing a mobile home saves time and money. In addition, the energy efficiency of modular homes can reduce utility bills over time.
The opportunity to create a unique design
Contrary to previous fears, design innovations are being introduced in modular homes. From contemporary minimalism to rustic charm, modular homes can be adapted to a wide range of architectural styles, depending on individual needs and creativity.
The ability to change your place of residence
Modular homes can be built in the countryside if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and create a cosy corner in nature. If you want to be part of the action in the city, you can choose a house closer to the city and be in the thick of things. The modules can be transported, leaving you free to make your own choices and change your preferences.
Wide range of applications
The demand for mobile modular homes is likely to grow in the future due to the variety of applications and uses they offer. They can be used for housing, office, temporary accommodation or even for various business activities. Modular homes can be tailored to each individual’s needs, creating a space where one feels comfortable and at ease. ‘MM Statyba’ offers a wide range of mobile modular homes (we even have a 2-storey HOME!) and the number of these homes is constantly growing.
It is likely that modular housing will become more and more accepted and integrated into everyday life. Whether it is a cosy suburban bungalow or a chic urban dwelling, modular homes have many advantages that will play an increasingly important role in the future choice of homes.
