Craft House Samuel turns tiny house into a year-round cabin

Craft House’s Samuel landed as a 10-meter modular cottage with a listed price of 260,000 PLN, and it makes its position in the tiny-house world clear from the start. Instead of chasing the road-ready, trailer-based formula, it sits on a prepared foundation and is pitched as a year-round home with room to expand.

That shift changes how the space works. The Samuel measures 10 m long and 3.2 m wide, with a roof ridge height of 4.10 m, 26 square meters on the ground floor, a 13-square-meter mezzanine, and a 4.3-square-meter bathroom. Craft House also gave the main floor a private bedroom sized for a 160×200 cm double bed, which takes pressure off the loft and gives the layout a more house-like rhythm than the classic all-sleeping-upstairs tiny-house plan.

The loft is still part of the story, but it is no longer carrying the whole load. Lit by a roof window under the single-pitch roof, the 13-square-meter mezzanine can function as a guest room, office, or second lounge. That flexibility is one of the Samuel’s biggest gains over a traditional towable tiny house: better headroom, a more usable upper level, and less feeling that every square meter has to pull double duty.

Craft House leaned hard into year-round comfort. The exterior uses vertical thermo-pine cladding and charcoal metal, while the interior is finished in warm spruce. Triple-glazed PVC windows, glass sliders, a mini-split, and underfloor heating all point toward cold-weather use rather than seasonal parking. The kitchen comes equipped with an induction hob, oven, dishwasher, built-in refrigerator, extractor hood, and sink, which puts the Samuel squarely in the full-time living category.

The model is also built to order and can be specified with extras, including a full off-grid setup with solar panels and batteries. Craft House says its modular and mobile homes are available in Poland, Austria, Germany, France, and Ireland, and the Samuel sits on the company’s more house-like end of the range, alongside other year-round modular builds. Poland’s modular sector is growing quickly, driven by demand for faster, lower-cost, more efficient construction, and specialists have said those buildings are increasingly visible across Europe. The Samuel captures that split in the tiny-house scene: less trailer, more cabin, and a lot more room to live like the place is meant to stay put.
