Don’t see a Microhome that quite fits? You don’t have to start again from scratch.

Our standard Microhomes suit many people—but every site, lifestyle and Planning context is different.

We also create custom homes using the same proven Microhome system, retaining many of the efficiencies that make our standard designs simpler and more predictable to deliver.

A custom home might involve:

• A different size or internal layout
• Additional bedrooms or flexible living space
• A design shaped around views, access or orientation
• Materials selected to suit a rural, coastal or sensitive setting
• A home adapted to your site without abandoning the benefits of a tested building system

The important first step isn’t choosing a floor plan. It’s understanding what may be possible on your land.

Our free feasibility study gives you an initial professional assessment of your site, its planning potential and the options worth exploring—with no commitment to proceed.

Own a piece of land—but have no idea whether you could actually build on it?

Don’t spend thousands on drawings, surveys or applications before understanding the site’s planning potential.

Our free initial feasibility study helps identify:

• Whether your land may have development potential
• The main planning policies affecting it
• Obvious constraints such as access, flooding or drainage
• Whether a Microhome could be a realistic option
• The most sensible next step before you invest further

To get started, visit the Microhomes website and select Check My Site. Send us the location and a little information about your plans, and our architectural team will carry out an initial assessment.

Already have land—or considering buying a plot?

Your simpler life may be closer than you think.

Well… these arrived in the post today. 👀

And with so many new people discovering Microhomes recently, it feels like a good time to say welcome.

Microhomes started with a simple idea:

What if a smaller, better-designed home could give you more freedom — not simply less space?

Less cost. Less maintenance. Less complexity.
More freedom to enjoy where and how you live.

So we’re delighted to see that idea recognised, with Microhomes & LH Architecture named as finalists in TWO categories at the 2026 Scottish Home Improvement Awards:

🏡 Scotland’s Home & Renovation of the Year
✏️ Scotland’s Best Architectural Practice

But if you’re new here, the first question isn’t usually which Microhome?

It’s “Could I actually build one on my land?”

That’s why we offer our FREE Feasibility Study.

If you have a plot, garden, croft or piece of land with potential, we’ll take an initial look and help you understand whether a Microhome could realistically work.

👉 Visit the Microhomes website and choose “Check my site”.

You don’t need to have everything figured out.

Start with the land. We’ll help with the rest.

What if the smallest home gave you the greatest freedom?

The cost of a home isn’t measured only by its purchase price. It’s also measured in years of mortgage payments, energy bills, maintenance, and the time required to look after it.

Microhome No.1 is our simplest answer: a complete, permanent one-bedroom home, intelligently designed within just 40m².

It isn’t a garden room or temporary cabin. It is designed as a proper, mortgageable home, subject to the usual planning and Building Warrant approvals.

It includes:

✓ A proper double bedroom
✓ Open-plan kitchen and living space
✓ Kitchen and bathroom included
✓ Practical built-in storage
✓ Underfloor heating as standard
✓ Air-source heat pump
✓ Aluminium-clad timber windows
✓ Excellent energy performance
✓ A clear, fixed-price approach

Before deciding how much house you need, try asking:

“What would I do with my time and money if less of it were tied up in my home?”

A smaller footprint can mean lower running costs, less maintenance and greater flexibility, while thoughtful design ensures the space you do have works hard every day.

Microhome No.1 could be ideal for downsizing, living independently on family land or creating a permanent home in a place that would otherwise feel financially out of reach.

If you own land, or have found a possible plot, we offer a free initial feasibility study to help establish whether a Microhome could work there.

Smaller home. Lighter life. Greater freedom.

How much of your home are you paying for, but rarely using?

A spare room kept “just in case.” A dining room used a few times a year. Extra space that adds to the mortgage, energy bills, cleaning and maintenance.

Microhome No.2 offers another way: a beautifully considered one-bedroom home with everything needed for comfortable everyday living, arranged within just 49m².

It includes:

✓ A proper double bedroom
✓ Open-plan kitchen and living space
✓ Kitchen and bathroom included
✓ Practical built-in storage
✓ Underfloor heating as standard
✓ Air-source heat pump
✓ Aluminium-clad timber windows
✓ Excellent energy performance
✓ A clear, fixed-price approach

If you’re thinking about building, ask yourself:

“Am I designing around how I actually live, or how I’ve been told a home should look?”

Choosing a smaller, better-designed home can mean less borrowing, lower running costs and fewer demands on your time. It can also give you greater freedom to live somewhere quieter, spend more time outdoors or simply work less.

Microhome No.2 could suit someone downsizing, building on family land or creating a simpler permanent home in a place they truly want to live.

If you own land, or have a potential plot, we offer a free initial feasibility study to help establish whether a Microhome could work there.

Own less house. Live more life.

You don’t need a bigger home. You need a home that gives you a better life.

More space often means a larger mortgage, higher energy bills and more of your time spent cleaning, maintaining and paying for rooms you barely use.

Microhome No.3 takes a different approach: two bedrooms and everything needed for comfortable everyday living, intelligently arranged within just 59m².

It includes:

✓ Two proper bedrooms
✓ Kitchen and bathroom
✓ Generous open-plan living space
✓ Practical built-in storage
✓ Underfloor heating as standard
✓ Air-source heat pump
✓ Aluminium-clad timber windows
✓ Excellent energy performance
✓ A clear, fixed-price approach

If you’re considering building, try this simple exercise:

Write down the rooms you genuinely use every day, not the rooms you think a house is expected to have.

That is where good design begins: creating enough space for the life you want, without paying for unnecessary floor area for decades to come.

Microhome No.3 could be ideal for downsizing, starting again somewhere quieter or building a thoughtfully designed home on family land.

If you own land—or have found a possible plot, we offer a free initial feasibility study to help establish whether a Microhome could work there.

Less space to manage. More life to enjoy.

What if your next home gave you more life, not simply more space?

For many of us, the conventional housing model has stopped working. Larger mortgages, rising running costs and rooms we rarely use can leave us maintaining a house rather than enjoying a life.

Microhome No.4 offers a more considered alternative: a beautifully designed, full three-bedroom home within just 77m².

It includes:

✓ Three bedrooms
✓ Main bathroom and en-suite
✓ Kitchen and bathrooms
✓ Underfloor heating as standard
✓ Air-source heat pump
✓ Aluminium-clad timber windows
✓ Excellent energy performance
✓ A clear, fixed-price approach

A useful starting point when planning your next home is to ask:

“How much space will genuinely improve my life, and how much will simply cost me more?”

Good design isn’t about making life feel smaller. It’s about removing wasted space, unnecessary expense and ongoing maintenance, so you have more freedom for the people, places and experiences that matter.

If you own land, or have a potential plot in mind, we can carry out a free initial feasibility study to help establish whether a Microhome could work there.
