Hello dear forum members,

we are planning to build a prefab house soon. Unfortunately, choosing the right builder is proving to be very difficult. It would certainly be easier for us if we could briefly visit a real (not a show) prefab house (older models are also fine) and have a short exchange of experiences with the owners.

So, to keep it short and simple:

We are Yasin, 2.5 years old, baby daughter Aylin, 7 months, and mom and dad. We would be happy to stop by and visit you briefly (we will also bring cake :-) ). We live in Wiesbaden, and the house should be within a 50 km (31 miles) radius.

Best regards,

Aylin, Yasin, and Mom/Dad

That’s actually true.
This company is also represented at the prefabricated house exhibition in Wuppertal.
Nice project.
...
It gave me wonderful inspiration – there is a fountain in the entrance area as a glass wall from the floor up to the upper floor. I’ll never forget that, it’s simply amazing. If I ever have too much money and time, I’ll install something similar on a smaller scale.

I think it’s more or less a tactic. 🙂 In Cologne (Frechen), I believe only bunker-style houses with at least 400 m² (4,305 sq ft) of living space are built. Visitors tend to be quite impressed both inside and outside, before quickly being brought back down to earth during the conversation.

But it’s definitely worth visiting to get some ideas, suggestions, and inspiration.

Still, it’s a good place to gather some ideas, suggestions, and inspiration.

In Wuppertal, everything is represented—from small and affordable to really large and outrageously expensive.
It can be dizzying, but it’s nice to look at. My dream favorite is there too. Even though I’m nowhere near being able to afford it (they know that), I’m still welcome to stop by to take a look and have a coffee. Very charming.

However, everything there is brand new and focuses on connected energy systems / ultra-low energy houses / passive houses. Technically, it’s very interesting for me.

One thing is clear: such centers are a tactic.
If you don’t have a lot of money, you quickly come back down to earth.
For inspiration, I still go there every now and then for a walk and then have a coffee afterward...
