Good evening,
we are planning to build a low-budget single-family house made of concrete and are now looking, ideally, for a prefab house company that offers something close to what we have in mind. I’m attaching a few photos of houses to illustrate the style we are aiming for. Essentially, a house made almost entirely from insulated concrete (preferably including the roof) with wooden frame windows (possibly also other wooden elements inside). We want to do as much of the interior work ourselves as possible. The house can be up to 16m long and 8m wide (52 feet 6 inches by 26 feet 3 inches), one or two stories, but with at least 5 rooms plus kitchen and bathroom. Neither a basement nor a garage is needed. The floor plan should be simple, with a straight staircase if two stories, using prefabricated components and basic building materials like wood, concrete, and metal. We want to deliberately reduce expensive technology, opting for simple windows and doors (but with good insulation values). Clear shapes and a focus on essentials without compromising too much on quality.
So far, I haven’t found prefab houses with the desired gable roof style. Does anyone happen to have a recommendation? It currently looks like we might have to take the more costly route via an architect.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. We do not want too many large window fronts.

Or simply not use the traditional plaster. For example, I quite like horizontal comb/broom plaster. How much more this will cost in the end, I will have to negotiate spontaneously with the plasterer for our project. If you like to clean façades regularly with a pressure washer, this is definitely an interesting option 😀

I suspected as much.
The first two are exactly the ones that clash the most.
Don’t fool yourself. Concrete-look finishes don’t come cheap. At least not in my opinion when done nicely.
If I were you, I would put the concrete-look idea at the bottom of the list, focus on a “normal” house and then try to incorporate concrete-look elements selectively. There are several surface treatments like concrete effect paint, etc., that you can also do yourself as accents. If that’s how it is, then it is. No large-scale concrete-look finish then.
It’s now becoming clear that we will convert the small barn. (7 x 9 m (23 x 30 ft))
The former residential building will still have to be demolished. For now, we’re looking for a local architect.

I’m not sure what it’s called in German, but would "rammed earth" be considered a product? It’s commonly used here in the south, in Margaret River, Yallingup. It creates a great living atmosphere, with colors tending towards sandy reddish tones.These are layers in similar shades. It looks nice. It’s also available here. It’s just very expensive.Y
