Prefab House of the Year 2025

Prefab House of the Year competition goal is to recognize the best buildings (wooden houses) produced by Estonian companies and to showcase the possibilities of wooden construction as a whole.

The competition is open to prefabricated wooden houses that were produced in a factory and handed over to the client between 2022 and 2025. The entries have to meet three key criteria:

+ The main structure of the building or façade element must be made of wood;

+ The structure must be prefabricated under factory conditions;

+ An Estonian company (the entrant) must have full control over the engineering solution, production, and construction of the competition entry.

Over the years, more than 280 different projects from various countries, including Japan and South Korea, have participated in the competition.

Last year, the jury selected the overall winner, the Best Public Building, and the Special Prize for the Most Energy Efficiency building to be a modular kindergarten in Kiili (Estonia), produced by Timbeco Woodhouse OÜ.
