The Lukas by Craft House: A Modular Small House with a Loft and a Ground-Floor Bedroom

Up to now we’ve toured Craft House’s lineup of mobile tiny homes on wheels, but the Polish builder also makes a larger modular range — and the Lukas is a standout. At 10 meters long and 3.5 meters wide, this gable-roofed modular house wraps 28.2 square meters around something most tiny homes have to choose between: a real ground-floor bedroom and a skylit sleeping mezzanine up top. Add a full island kitchen with a dishwasher, a marble bathroom with a washing machine, underfloor heating, and triple-glazed windows, and the Lukas feels far more like a compact modern house than a downsized one.

A Modular Cabin That Lives Like a House

Because the Lukas is a modular build rather than a trailer-mounted tiny house, it sits on a prepared pad and arrives fully self-contained — plumbing, sewage, and electrics included. The exterior pairs warm vertical thermo-pine cladding with charcoal aluminum standing-seam metal on the gable and roof, a combination that reads modern and grounded at once. A glazed gable end and large windows down the long wall keep the 28.2-square-meter interior bright, while the steep gable roof creates the volume for a loft inside.

An Open-Plan Living and Dining Space

Step through the glass doors and the main 18.6-square-meter living room opens up around a slim black floating staircase that climbs to the mezzanine. A wall-mounted TV sits against a dark stone feature panel beneath a warm wood-slat ceiling accent, and a round dining table tucks into the corner by full-height glazing. It’s a genuinely social layout — the kind of open-plan main room that makes a small home feel generous rather than cramped.

A Full Kitchen With an Island

The kitchen is fully equipped to house standards: a four-burner induction hob, an oven, a built-in refrigerator, a dishwasher, an extractor hood, and a sink, all set into two-tone cabinetry of white fronts and warm wood with black hardware. The standout is the wood-topped island, which doubles as a breakfast bar and dining table with seating — a clever way to fold the dining area into the kitchen and free up the rest of the living space.

A Real Ground-Floor Bedroom

Down one end sits a proper 6.3-square-meter ground-floor bedroom with a full-size bed, a built-in wood wardrobe, and a wood-slat ceiling accent that echoes the living room. Having a main-floor bedroom is a big deal in a home this size — it means no nightly ladder climb and an easy, accessible place to sleep, while the loft stays free for guests or a second sleeping zone.

A Skylit Mezzanine Above

Up the staircase, the mezzanine is a bright, airy second bedroom tucked under the gable. Two roof skylights and a triangular gable-end window flood it with daylight, and a low wood credenza plus a built-in headboard with integrated nightstands keep it tidy. The herringbone flooring carries through from below, so even this lofted space feels finished rather than like an afterthought.

A Marble Bathroom With Laundry

The 3.3-square-meter bathroom punches well above the home’s footprint, finished in white marble-look tile with a wood-and-white vanity, a vessel sink, black fixtures, and a glass shower. Crucially for full-time living, it also hides a washing machine and an electric water heater — so the Lukas handles laundry and hot water on its own, no outbuilding required.

What Makes This Build Special

  • Two real bedrooms: A ground-floor bedroom plus a skylit mezzanine is a rare combination at this footprint — accessible sleeping below, bright guest or kids’ space above.
  • House-grade kitchen: An induction island kitchen with a dishwasher and full-size fridge is closer to a modern apartment than a typical tiny build.
  • Self-sufficient living: Onboard laundry, electric hot water, underfloor heating, and smart AC make it a genuine year-round, full-time home.
  • Modular permanence: Foundation-set construction and triple-glazed windows give it the solidity and efficiency of a small house rather than a road-going trailer.

Make It Your Own

Like the rest of the Craft House range, the Lukas is built to be tailored. The interior panels can be specified in slats, stone, large-format finishes, or natural wood, and the home can be fitted out to suit a primary residence, a guest house, a backyard ADU, or a rental cabin. It’s a flexible, finished shell you can shape to the way you actually want to live.
