The Jake by Craft House: A Solar-Powered Flagship Modular House with Two Bedrooms

If the Lukas and Samuel are Craft House’s compact modular homes, the Jake is the Polish builder’s flagship — and it shows. This 12-meter modular house leads with a dramatic arched gable of double-height glass, packs in two bedrooms (one on the ground floor, one in the mezzanine), and arrives with a full off-grid energy package as standard: 8.5 kW of rooftop solar, a heat pump, and an inverter with battery storage. Add a sage-green island kitchen, a wood-and-marble bathroom, and optional terraces, a carport, and a gazebo, and the Jake stops feeling like a tiny house altogether and starts feeling like a self-sufficient small home.

A Double-Height Living Room Under an Arched Gable

The Jake’s signature is that curved gable end, where a wood-lined arch frames a wall of double-height glazing. Inside, it creates a soaring, light-flooded living room finished with a curved cream sofa, a round coffee table, and warm wood-slat accents. It’s the kind of volume you almost never get in a compact home — the ceiling opens up to the full height of the gable, and the glass pulls the outdoors right into the room.

An Open-Plan Heart

The 19.5-square-meter living room flows straight into the kitchen, with a slim black staircase rising to the mezzanine along one wall. Keeping the main floor open like this — living, dining, kitchen, and circulation in one bright volume — is what makes a 12-meter footprint feel expansive rather than corridor-like.

A Sage-Green Island Kitchen

The kitchen is a standout in its own right: sage-green cabinetry paired with warm wood countertops and a matching wood backsplash, black hardware, and a black sink. It comes fully equipped to house standards — a four-burner induction hob, an oven, a dishwasher, a built-in refrigerator, an extractor hood, and an island with a table that doubles as casual dining. It’s a genuinely modern, full-size kitchen rather than a downsized kitchenette.

A Ground-Floor Bedroom

The Jake’s 8-square-meter ground-floor bedroom is a private, fully enclosed room — wrapped in a wood-paneled accent wall with floating shelves and finished for a real double bed (a 160×200 cm bed is among the optional extras). Having a main-level bedroom means easy, ladder-free sleeping, while the mezzanine stays free as a second bedroom or flex space.

A Mezzanine Bedroom Above

Up the stairs, the mezzanine is a second full bedroom tucked under the gable, lit by a roof window and finished with a wood headboard and built-in nightstands. The sloped ceiling gives it a cozy, cabin-loft feel, but with enough room for a proper bed and storage it functions as a genuine second sleeping room — ideal for guests, kids, or a private retreat.

A Wood-and-Marble Bathroom

The 4.3-square-meter bathroom blends warm and crisp: a wood vanity with twin black vessel sinks and a mirror on one side, marble-look tile and a glass shower on the other. It’s a fully plumbed, full-time-ready bathroom, complete with a toilet, a washing machine, and an electric water heater, so laundry and hot water are handled onboard.

Solar Power and a Heat Pump, Standard

What really sets the Jake apart is its energy package, which is standard rather than optional. The home comes with an 8.5 kW photovoltaic array, a SPLIT-type heat pump, and an inverter with battery storage, all feeding underfloor heating and a smart air-conditioning system. That combination makes the Jake genuinely energy-independent and efficient to run year-round — a real off-grid-capable house, not just a well-insulated cabin.
