Prefab homes for small spaces: Explore innovative designs for maximising space in compact prefab homes

Small-footprint prefab homes don't have to mean limited possibilities.

Our vision is to deliver housing solutions that are beautiful and easy to live in. Adaptable to individual needs using architecturally designed modules to provide affordable homes built with intended purpose.

Frontier Life homes are built by joining prefabricated components that offer a space-saving solution designed to maximise every inch of available space internally and externally. 

Using creative layouts, modern design techniques, and well-researched materials and inclusions, we’ve created a collection of modules that allow for multi-functional rooms and flexible design choices. 

Our range of modules allows each individual to choose one or multiple prefab modules to create a home that meets their needs without exceeding their budget.  A minimalist solution that can enable homeowners to enjoy a space that feels much larger than its smaller footprint. 

Intelligent storage solutions and thoughtfully considered inclusions allow homeowners to live comfortably in compact living spaces with a significant impact.

Efficient, stylish, small-footprint housing solutions for limited spaces.

As urban areas become more densely populated and Australia's housing shortage continues, modular prefab homes are recognised for providing cost-effective, high-standard housing solutions for innovative home buyers to exit the rental market sooner, alleviating pressure on demand for rental properties.

The innovative design of modular homes maximises space, creating safe, functional, sustainable housing for first-time home buyers, savvy investors, retirees, and those looking to use prefab homes as adaptable live-in spaces or to build personal wealth.

Modular homes are an affordable alternative to traditional construction, allowing investors to move into their newly built houses promptly. After permits and approval for the build are confirmed, project timelines are 12-14 weeks until completion.

Frontier Life prefab homes are stylishly designed with a minimalistic aesthetic. Their compact layout makes them an adaptable housing solution for many. 

Manufactured to the highest standard, our prefabricated components provide those looking for a home with a small footprint maximum potential to create a lifestyle using modules of their choice to make a living space that provides:

  • Adaptability - reconfigure or re-locate as required;

  • Practicality - utilise the maximum amount of space in the most efficient ways;

  • Functionality - open plan designs make our modules seem bigger than they are;

  • Ease of living - add to your home quickly and easily with prefab modules;

  • Suitability for many lifestyles - expand for larger families, compact for couples;

  • Considered choices - make your space beautiful, sustainable, and adaptable.

In highly populated areas, the ability to add a second dwelling to a property or smaller block of land with substantial cost and wait times gives investors and homeowners alike the capability to create a new home in just a few months, as opposed to the expected 12 months+ for a traditional home build.

Minimal impact, maximised space - a sustainable solution to home ownership.

By minimising a home's footprint and making sustainable choices in materials and design, a modular home can reduce its owner's carbon footprint, lessening the impact of climate change. 

The ability to build a house with less land development than traditional home construction makes installing modules on undeveloped land a wise environmental choice. 

A Frontier Life prefab home is designed to optimise energy and water use.  Being a small footprint house, the quality systems and researched practices during the manufacturing processes mean smart first-homebuyers and savvy investors are helping the environment and maximising their savings in household utility bills. 

Modern technology and conscious design choices make for a beautiful, more efficient home that may be small in size but feels spacious.

Considered choices make for aesthetic and adaptable property development opportunities.

Whether you are looking to build a functional family home that allows for flexibility in the future, a smaller footprint home as a sustainable solution as a second dwelling, holiday rental, or even as an office space, modular homes allow you to utilise available space by maximising every square meter. 

Compact modular homes are a great example of how clever design choices and well-considered floorplans can transform a small home into a stylish, space-efficient sanctuary to live, work or play in.

Frontier Life prefab homes are designed for adaptability, allowing you to reconfigure or relocate each module if needed. You can add to your modular home as the need arises or the budget allows maximising your small space with innovative design solutions.
