Modular Micro Homes: A Smart New Way to Live and Build

November 10, 2025

In a world where life moves faster than ever, the desire to slow down, simplify, and return to what truly matters is growing. Homebuyers are now looking for well‑planned, easy‑to‑maintain spaces where every square foot serves a purpose. Beyond a passing trend, residential minimalism offers a meaningful response to today’s needs, focusing on quality, functionality, and everyday simplicity.

A Shared Vision of Modern Living

This vision led to the creation of a new collection of factory-built micro homes designed in collaboration with Confort Design, enriching ProFab’s residential offering. These compact homes stand out for their thoughtful design, flexibility, and quality craftsmanship, all central values of the ProFab identity. Each model can be fully customized to fit the owner’s lifestyle, whether it’s a primary residence, a vacation home, or a secondary dwelling.

Rethinking Space with Intelligence

Ranging from 300 to 900 sq. ft., these micro homes combine clever design with everyday comfort. They offer the same livability as a full‑size home, in a more compact, sustainable form. Whether for a main residence, a four‑season cottage, or an accessory dwelling, these homes adapt beautifully to diverse lifestyles.
Unlike tiny homes on wheels, ProFab micro homes are true permanent residences, built on a foundation, crawl space, or piers depending on the terrain and client needs. Manufactured in ProFab’s certified facilities, they benefit from the same precision, durability, and expertise as the company’s standard models.

Balancing Comfort and Lasting Quality of Life

Each plan is designed to maximize natural light, fluid movement, and space value. Thanks to modular construction and Confort Design’s experience, functionality and aesthetics come together to create warm, adaptable living environments.
Micro homes appeal to a wide range of buyers from young professionals to families adding a secondary unit, to retirees looking for simplicity. Each finds a home that truly matches their lifestyle and priorities.

Meeting the New Needs of the Housing Market

With rising property prices and limited land availability, more buyers are turning to accessible and sustainable housing options. The micro home offers a logical, timely solution making homeownership attainable while supporting a balanced way of life.
Some municipalities are considering easing their regulations to allow the construction of backyard homes on existing lots. This approach promotes intergenerational living, additional dwelling units, and smarter use of available land.

“During the week, we live in a small condo in the city. On weekends, we head to our micro home by the lake. It is the perfect balance: time in nature, time for ourselves, and room to truly breathe.”
