Prefab House Models: By Construction Type

Curious about prefab homes in Portugal? Here are the most desirable types of exclusive models from concrete to modular homes and wooden houses.

Modular homes (casas modulares)

A modular home is a prefab house that’s built in a climate-controlled factory environment. Most exclusive modular houses in Portugal have a large, open-plan area with a living room, kitchen, and a dining room. For example, a two-floor 300 m2 modular home can also have a swimming pool and a private garden.

Wooden houses (casas de madeira)

Prefab wooden homes are often pre-designed kits with a rustic, but elegant design. They are built with solid wood and a variety of finishes, from industrialized models to contemporary finishes. Luxury villas are often 180 m2 to 400 m2 models with high-end living and eco-friendly materials.

Prefabricated concrete homes (casas pré-fabricadas de betão)

A luxury prefabricated concrete house has wall panels of reinforced concrete, often with a unique design. This model is the most similar option to a traditional house.

For example, a 220 m2 prefab concrete home distributed across two floors can have three bathrooms and two bedrooms. It can also come with a porch, storage room, laundry room, and a private pool.

What is a luxury prefab house like inside?

Luxury prefabricated houses in Portugal are high-end residences that can use anything from the latest thermal insulation technology to cutting edge construction materials. Here is how prefab homes can look inside.

Bright and spacious

Modern prefab homes in Portugal often have a spacious open-plan interior with a clever layout. In most cases the social areas (i.e. kitchen, living room, and dining room) are all in a single open space with either high ceilings or double-height ceilings. Most homes have floor-to-ceiling windows that make the space feel bigger and brighter.

Exclusive materials

To build a luxury prefab home, most manufacturers use cutting edge construction materials that increase value.

These are:

• High-performance window frames (such as aluminum, thermal break, wooden frames, or low-emissivity glass)
• Designer bathrooms (such as walk-in showers, wall coverings, double recessed sinks, and designer faucets)
• Designer kitchens (such as Calcatta marble, Dekton countertops, and custom furniture)
• Large-format flooring (such as marble, porcelain stoneware, or solid oak)
• Ventilated facades with premium cladding (such as zinc, natural stone, heat-treated wood, or corten steel).
