Pre-fab Cottage is a modern, modular pre-fabricated structure based on a 14 foot square module. The cottages are built using structural insulated panels for floor, walls and roof, creating an extremely energy efficient building envelope. The 14′ x 14′ cottage base module can be assembled in several combinations and is adaptable to many different site conditions aided by its unique precast concrete foundation system. The project featured here is a newly completed residence utilizing four of the modules and a connector hallway. Built in a shop in Traverse City, Michigan the cottage was transported in sections to its site 60 miles to the South in Manistee County. Once transported the cottage modules were then assembled in five hours.
Pre-fabricated 14 foot square mobile modules used to make a small home in Northern Michigan. Designed by Michael Fitzhugh.
Really like this and am interested in the design plans. Very nice choice of simple materials. How does it hold up in the colder months in Michigan?

Hi Folks and thank you for all the kind comments and interest. As the creator and proprietor of Cottage in a Day, as well as the utility line of Ready Structures, it’s certainly nice to have my work recognized. I am happy to answer all queries and preview all of our models and pricing at cottageinday.com or readystructures.com
Over the past 5 years and 4 continents ( #5, bidding a project for Brazil in Antarctica now!) I can be confident that my buildings qualify for any climate or geography.
Write me an email or call to discuss which structure may work for you.
Thanks!

Hi My husband and I are going to be purchasing property in MI. Do you currently sell your kits/models/structures? We are very interested in the tiny house movement but are looking for a structure that has more of a cottage feel. We love the design and contemporary feel. Could you reach out to me via email?

Would be nice to see more of this, as to how they connect and the bedroom factors and such.
How much do one of these modules run? I live in Michigan and might be interested in something like this.
It is kind of a bummer we don’t get to see more. The connector hallways sounds like the best thing about it!
My wife and I are seriously considering investing in several tiny homes. Do you have a catalog available?
Looks awesome, whats the cost? I see these really cool modular, prefab, small houses a lot now but they all seem to cost $250+ / sqft which seems kind of insane. Is there a good prefab like this for a reasonable price anywhere??
I live in Green Bay but own a little property in the Northwoods. I’m looking to build a modest (VERY modest!) retirement home. I’d love to learn more – LOTS more!!
