Bungalows & holiday homes

Single-level, comfortable units for private use, holiday rental, glamping and resort projects.

Positioning

A bungalow is a building, not a vehicle. That single sentence decides everything else: no chassis, no road approval, but a planning question from day one — and a foundation that has to be finished before delivery.

Capability

What we build under Bungalows & holiday homes.

Tiny houses remain the core business. This capability extends it where a project needs more floor area, a different structural system or a delivery of its own.

  • Holiday homes for parks and resorts
  • Glamping and hospitality units
  • Guest houses and annexes
  • Single-level units without stairs
Feasibility

What actually decides it.

These four points decide most projects in this field. Settled early they cost nothing; settled late they cost the schedule.

01

Zoning, before anything else

Whether the site may be built on and whether it may be lived on are two different questions — and the second is the most common reason a project fails. In Danish sommerhusområder and Dutch recreation zones, year-round living is restricted in principle, including where the most attractive plots are.

02

The foundation is part of the schedule

Strip, pad or raft is decided by the ground. What matters more for the date: the foundation has to be finished, cured and dimensionally correct before the unit arrives. A delivery date without a finished foundation is not a date.

03

Beyond transport width it arrives in sections

Anything wider than may be carried on the road is delivered in sections and joined on site. That is normal and planned for — but it changes the crane, the assembly time and the joint that has to stay weathertight afterwards.

04

Services are rarely already there

On resort and campsite land, water, wastewater and power are often not where the unit is going. Checking that after delivery leaves a finished building with nothing to connect it to.

Scope

What is included, and what is not.

The second column is the important one. Foundation, connections and permits are the items a quotation does not contain and a project needs anyway.

In scope

  • Unit finished through to the connection point
  • Interior fit-out and furniture where agreed
  • Factory inspection and documentation

Not included

  • Foundation, site services and connections
  • Permits and certificates in the destination country
  • Landscaping, decking and access unless contracted
FAQ

Questions that come before the quotation.

Yes. It sits on a foundation and is therefore a building. The chassis argument sometimes made for tiny houses does not exist here — which is arguably an advantage, because the route is unambiguous from the start.

Technically yes, where insulation, windows, ventilation and heating are specified for the local climate. Legally it depends on the zone: in holiday and recreation areas, permanent occupation is restricted in principle across several of our markets.

Up to the permitted transport width, yes; beyond it, in sections joined on site. Which applies is decided by the route and the final access, not by the floor plan.

Especially there, because repetition pays: the same unit, the same connections, the same installation sequence. Variations per unit usually cost more than they return in guest experience.

Single-level is the starting point, not the outcome. Door widths, thresholds, turning circles and the bathroom have to be specified for it — at sign-off, not afterwards.

Five destination markets

What has to be settled in each country.

The same question is answered differently in Copenhagen than in Zurich. These five points belong in every project check, whatever detail you are researching right now.

Germany

Responsible: the lower building authority of the district or independent city.

Governing plan: the Bebauungsplan, or an assessment under §34 or §35 BauGB where there is none.

Permanent living is possible where the plot lies within a built-up area or a Bebauungsplan permits residential use and the project is approved. In the outer area under §35 BauGB, living is privileged only in narrowly defined cases — the most common reason German projects fail.

Netherlands

Responsible: the municipality, through the Omgevingsloket.

Governing plan: the municipal omgevingsplan under the Environment and Planning Act.

Permanent living requires a residential function in the omgevingsplan. Many attractive sites are designated for recreation, where permanent residence is not allowed — even where it happens in practice.

Netherlands →

Denmark

Responsible: the kommune.

Governing plan: the lokalplan together with the zone status (byzone, sommerhusområde or landzone).

Permanent living requires a site in byzone or an equivalent designation. In sommerhusområder year-round residence is restricted in principle, and exceptions are tied to personal conditions.

Denmark →

Luxembourg

Responsible: the commune.

Governing plan: the plan d'aménagement général (PAG) and the associated plan d'aménagement particulier (PAP).

Permanent living is possible where the PAG zone permits residential use and the autorisation de construire is granted. Because municipalities are small, practice differs noticeably from place to place.

Luxembourg →

Switzerland

Responsible: the municipality together with the canton.

Governing plan: the municipal land-use plan and the zoning ordinance.

Permanent living is possible inside the building zone where the zone permits residential use and the Baubewilligung is granted. Outside the building zone, living is admissible only in narrowly defined exceptions — the most common reason Swiss projects fail.

Models

Which models come into question.

Eight plans on one technical basis, 2.55 metres wide. What differs is length, layout and specification depth.

Checklist

Five points before ordering.

  • A written answer from the responsible authority on admissibility at the specific plot — verbal assurances do not carry a project.
  • Access and unloading point, with photographs and dimensions. In practice the last hundred metres cause more trouble than the long haul.
  • Servicing: the distance to power, drinking water and sewer. That distance sets one of the largest secondary items.
  • Type of use and number of people. Permanent living, holidays and letting lead to different specifications of the same model.
  • Budget range including foundation, connections, unloading, planning, fees and insurance — not just the ex-works price.
