Attefallshus

Enkel-fact: In July, 2014 the Scandinavian kingdom amended its Planning and Building Act to allow homeowners to build small structures on their land without obtaining a building permit, and it’s all thanks to Stefan Attefall. Hence, Attefallshus, which, if my sources are correct, translates to Attefall’s house, go figure!

FAQ

An “attefallshus” is a type of small house or dwelling in Sweden that is named after former Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Stefan Attefall. These houses are typically compact in size, usually around 25-30 square meters, and are intended for residential use. They are often used as guesthouses, studios, home offices, or small living spaces. Attefallshus can be built without the need for a full building permit under certain conditions outlined in the Swedish Planning and Building Act, making them a popular option for expanding residential properties.

The simple answer is yes! However the house must meet specific requirements outlined in the Swedish Planning and Building Act.  Before deciding to live permanently in an attefallshus, it’s therefore crucial to research and understand the specific regulations and requirements in your municipality or region. Contact us for guidance!

In Sweden, the regulations regarding the size of a house you can build vary depending on factors such as location, zoning regulations, and whether you need planning permission or not. Typically, you can build smaller structures like friggebodar (small buildings) up to a certain size without needing planning permission. However, for larger houses or structures, you may need to adhere to local building codes and obtain the necessary permits. It’s best to consult with local authorities or a professional architect to determine the specific regulations and requirements for your area.

Yes, absolutely! Enkelrum houses are designed to be used year-round, providing comfort and functionality regardless of the season. Whether it’s cozying up inside during the colder months or enjoying the outdoor spaces during the warmer seasons, your Enkelrum is adaptable to various weather conditions and can serve as a comfortable retreat throughout the year. Whether you’re looking for a permanent residence, a vacation home, or a cozy retreat, Enkelrum houses are versatile and suitable for year-round use, allowing you to embrace the simplicity of living in harmony with nature regardless of the season.

Heating an Enkelrum during colder seasons can be achieved through various methods. Regardless of the heating method you choose, Enkelrum ensures proper insulation and sealing to minimize heat loss and maximize energy efficiency!

No! In Sweden, an Attefallshus can be built without the need for a building permit under certain conditions. The construction of an attefallshus falls under what is known as “Attefallshuslagen” or the Attefall House Act, which allows for the construction of small residential buildings without requiring a formal building permit. But you still need to send in a “bygganmälan” which can be explained to be a simpler form of a permit.

While both “attefallshus” and “tiny houses” share similarities in that they are compact dwellings, there are some differences between the two:

  1. Size: Attefallshus typically have a maximum size limit of 30 square meters, as regulated by Swedish law. Tiny houses, on the other hand, can vary in size but are generally smaller than traditional homes, often ranging from 10 to 40 square meters or even less.
  2. Legal framework: Attefallshus are governed by specific regulations outlined in the Swedish Planning and Building Act. These regulations include requirements regarding size, placement, and construction methods. Tiny houses may be subject to different regulations depending on the country or region in which they are built.
  3. Purpose: Attefallshus are commonly used as guesthouses, studios, or additional living spaces on residential properties. Tiny houses may serve similar purposes but can also be used as primary residences, vacation homes, or mobile dwellings.

In summary, while both attefallshus and tiny houses are small dwellings designed for efficient living, they may differ in size, legal regulations, and intended use.

Turnkey refers to a fully furnished and ready-to-move-in tiny house that is equipped with all the necessary features and amenities for comfortable living.

Small houses are becoming increasingly popular for several reasons!  Small houses offer a range of benefits, including affordability, sustainability, flexibility, and the opportunity to embrace a simpler, more intentional way of living.
