My favorite feature, besides the high ceilings and natural light which make it spacious inside, is the fact that there is NO PAINT !!! Yes !!! I can't stress that enough. Paint gets old, dirty, and peels and crumbles... and then you have to repaint the entire interior again, usually every 5 years. Such a headache. It never looks as good as the first time and paint splatters get everywhere. The wood walls and ceiling are stunning and will age with beautiful patina over time... just like Kerry Tarnow.

Maybe you're just a sloppy painter... You know you have to wet sand any painted surface before you put more paint on it, right? Otherwise, it gets flaky and you have to layer it on thicker for it to stick. Also, newspaper and drop cloths exist. If you're gonna complain, at least complain about VOCs or toxic pigments. But then, with all the particle board and plastic in this house, it would really invalidate such an argument. It is really annoying when people refer to manufactured board as 'wood'. That's not what it is. It is a bunch of sawdust held together with glue or plastic. Now, if you made particle board using casein glue or bioplastic resin as the binder, it might be able to be considered as 'green' at least.

It's nice to finally see some shipping charges from Europe to USA. 👍

Pricepoint? Of course, that's great. I am older, nearing retirement, and could probably be happy in 1000 to 1200 sqr ft. What I want is a very smart one-level (no stairs/ladders) design with a bedroom separate from the living space. IMO 2 burner cooktops are sufficient but a lot of these kitchen sinks are too small to wash pots and pans. You have given me a lot of options to look at. Have yet to find my Goldilocks of space, design, and affordability. Keep the videos coming!

Hi Kerry, all I can say is WOW ! That was an awesome home. Thanks so much for taking us along can't wait to see there other homes. Safe travels

Welcome to America Ilumhouse! 🇺🇸 Great first house. The wood interior is gorgeous. And I love the exterior colors which fit in well with the northeast USA, where I’m at. 🗽 The loft looks fun. But my eyes really went big when I saw the washer/dryer combo in the bathroom. That’s a home run in my opinion. As is the whole house in general. And it fits into a small property space. What’s not to love? 😍 Awesome video Kerry. Hope you set a new personal record in views for this one. 😎

WOW! I'm super impressed that you traveled to Latvia Kerry! And also impressed with this home & it's layout. I'd drop the dining tàble and add a bar for dining & storage. The deck is beautiful & adds a ton of space. I hope more builders in North America start offering really great deals like this. I'm tempted to order one.

It's the exact look I have been searching for a second bedroom slightly larger kitchen and an open concept slightly larger main living room excited to see the other floor plans

So happy to hear that Ilumhouse is going to start providing to the US. I really like their Helsinki model

Glad you are visiting the homes you feature and building frequent flyer miles . Yes keep making on-site vids. Thanks

Latvia and Estonia seem to be making real waves in industry since they left the USSR. I have a family friend who retired to Latvia after going to a language immersion thing. He loved it there. I’m sure if they can keep this pricing after they get their houses established they will want to build a factory here. Well, states are clamoring for them. One sure way to get the price of housing down is build good houses cheaply. There is a ton of need.

Interesting. I appreciate the in-person research you do. By the way, nice sidestep around the fridge, which I assume is the briefly shown little gray box up against the wall to the left of the mini kitchen. I only saw a closet in the bedroom, which is nice, but you'd have to use the loft for other storage. People have stuff other than clothes. Thanks for the tour.

They dont offer that for a reason. It needs so much onsite setup it isnt any different than just building that size of a house. All of the cost savings come from factory assembly. Volume production in controlled conditons.

Is anyone in EU or US creating communities with the Nordic models? I felt relaxed and lighter just seeing you in that environment! If you need more accessibility will the designers work with you or would that be for a contractor stateside? I am a proud ‘wheelie’ and can see the possibilities for me with adjustments. The loft is a bit of a kicker though. Have to put my thinking cap on to solve that one. Many thanks Kerry for the information and inspiration!

Here’s the thing folks; 80% of construction costs are related to moving construction materials around! If you have to ship this house across ocean, costs would skyrocket for the per foot price. Also, many cities have minimum square foot requirements to build a house so small homes like these are not allowed. Hooking up a house to local utilities can cost as much as $50k alone. Why not just sell plans for this house and local installers do the rest???

Looks like an excellent company and product. This could help solve a lot of housing problems.
