Designed by the Kodasema team based in Estonia, Koda is made from sustainable materials which can be reused later and uses smart tech like LED lighting, quadruple-glazed windows and vacuum insulation to leverage the sun and minimize Co2 footprint.
Value Proposition
The prefab is low impact, portable and inexpensive, concrete, solar-powered that is designed to move with its owners. The prefab can be assembled in less than seven hours, and disassembled in four days.
The furnished house will come in three different models: “Koda for Living,” “Koda for Studying,” and “Koda for Working.” They will function as homes, classrooms, and offices respectively, according to Kodasema’s cofounder, Taavi Jakobson.
150 Kodas will become available to order online in Estonia starting in late 2017, with prices likely starting at just over US$130,000.
Koda is one of a growing trend of small, portable prefab homes that are priced between $60 to $360 per square feet. Most take between 4 weeks to 6 months of assembly and are LEED certified and come with many renewable energy features.
