Small modular homes are becoming the rage around the world and now one of Korea’s leading electronics and appliance manufacturers has just unveiled their first prototype into the market.
LG Electronics unveiled the concept of LG Smart Cottage, a small modular house that can be used as a second house, on March 2. The company explains that it has introduced a new residential space that combines space, home appliances, and services in consideration of the spread of “workation” (enjoying vacation while working).
LG Smart Cottage is a small modular home in the form of a second house to which LG Electronics’ energy, heating and cooling technology and premium home appliances are applied. It is based on a prefabrication method.

The prototype unveiled this time has a two-story one-room structure and is 31.4 square meters wide. The living room and kitchen are in one space, and the toilet and powder room are separate. A 4kW solar panel is installed on the roof to produce some of the energy used at the home. Its energy consumption has been significantly reduced through Therma V Monoblock, a heat pump cooling and heating system. The inside of the home has an energy-efficient dishwasher, induction electric range, and water purifier among others.
