Start your Grand Designs journey stress-free with a modern pre-manufactured house that’s built to last.
German company Meisterstueck-Haus is an expert in bespoke design. Renowned for its attention to detail, it uses sustainable materials and modern methods of construction to create self-build and custom-build post and beam or closed insulated timber frame panel system constructions for pre-manufactured houses that are tried and tested and fully adapted to your needs.
Choose timber and make a positive difference
Building a sustainable home means using a timber frame. As a natural material, it removes a considerable amount of CO2 from the atmosphere, helping to reduce the greenhouse effect.
Meisterstueck-Haus works with solid structural timber from managed German forests for the walls, ceilings and roofs of its eco houses. As a low energy building material, wood uses less energy than conventional building processes while providing excellent insulation to save energy when heating the home. To complete the circle effect of sustainability, any forest timber used is swiftly replaced by replanting.
What can I expect from a Meisterstueck-Haus eco house?
This company has over 120 years’ experience of tradition and innovations in timber engineering and building prefab houses. Pre-manufactured timber houses from its in-house designs meet or outperform all demands for insulation, fire prevention, damp-proofing and sound-proofing. They also score highly on energy efficiency, giving you as the self-builder, the security you need for future rises in energy costs. Energy Plus Walls with a U-value of 0.16 and triple glazing for instance, both come as standard.
Choose your style
A Meisterstueck-Haus home can be built to its own standard designs, adapted to suit your needs or built to follow bespoke plans from a UK architect. Contemporary styles with large glazed areas will make the most of a beautiful view with flexible completion stages to suit you. Choose from a shell house only or the full package as well as a fixed price and fixed delivery date for peace of mind.
Your new eco-home can be finished in render, wood or brick slips while Fusion one-level living with a flat roof design emulates Bauhaus style with its post and beam construction.
