Large eco homes can be economical

Due to economies of scale, large bespoke eco homes offer excellent value for money, especially when using the system perfected by German eco-house builder Meisterstueck-HAUS. Combining an air-tight and well-insulated construction together with the latest eco heating and ventilation technologies, Meisterstueck-HAUS has proved that the running costs of a generous eco home are accessible.

Meisterstueck-HAUS’s build system can be adapted to almost any large bespoke eco design, whichever your preferred style of architecture. For example, external walls can be finished in render, wood cladding or brick slips. Roofs can be pitched or flat. And for peace of mind, only eco-friendly products and materials are used in its spacious homes. Moreover, Meisterstueck-Haus’s quality houses are built to last – discover more of its designs here.

Your dream modern home, your way

Large bespoke eco homes make a striking statement so it’s important to get the design just right. Meisterstueck-HAUS has pioneered a contemporary closed-panel build system as well as a beautiful modern post and beam style. The latter blends a timeless timber frame with expansive glazing for a stunning contemporary look. For example, this impressive post and beam house near Cirencester makes the most of its stunning location with over-sized panoramic windows.

Alternatively, a combination of post and beam with a closed panel system makes for a stunning large bespoke eco home. This house on the Thames was tailor-made to slot into a narrow plot.
