The Mini FAB is a studio providing 37m² of living space. Its compact design includes a small kitchen, a tiled bathroom, a double height dining space, a living area with a sofa bed complemented by a lofted bedroom above.

The Mini FAB living areas open on two sides to decks providing a variety of orientations. The northern and western sides of the 3 x 10 metre structure are glazed, taking advantage of views and providing a strong connection to the exterior. The roof form allows for solar panels to be installed at an efficient angle, ensuring the Mini FAB to be an energy positive solution.

“Copeland House "We have been living in our new house for a year now and want to say we are extremely happy with it. After living in it through the four seasons it fulfills all our requirements all year round. The space works brilliantly for us and we really appreciate the louvred windows. Having been house bound for the last month, we have appreciated it even more! Many thanks again.”
