Cabins up to 50 m²

Cabins up to 50 m² – making the most of the regulations and floor area

A small cabin of up to 50 m² falls within the rules for buildings with a footprint of up to 70 m² that can be built on notification, which greatly simplifies the paperwork. The same rules apply to cabins up to 50 m²: notification at the county office or city office, no obligation to keep a construction log, and no need to hire a construction manager. For many investors, this means a shorter wait and lower costs of handling formalities.

This category features wooden holiday cabins – designs of up to 50 m² – as well as versions with a higher standard that serve as small residential homes. A floor area under 50 m² does not limit functionality – a well-planned layout makes room for a living area, a comfortable bedroom, a bathroom, a kitchenette and a practical utility space.

Small wooden cabins up to 50 m² – room layout and build standard

The small wooden cabins up to 50 m² from Drewnolandia are designed using timber-frame technology, known from so-called Canadian houses. The load-bearing structure is built from timber studs, with properly designed cross-sections and element spacing, which ensures stability, durability and good thermal insulation. We finish the exterior walls with façade boards and cover the roof with bitumen shingles or another material specified in the design.

Cabins up to 50 m² most often come in two basic layouts: a compact cabin with a living room and one bedroom, and a version with two smaller bedrooms for families with children or guests. In the living area, a kitchenette combined with a dining space works well, along with an exit to the terrace, which visually enlarges the space and makes it easier to relax outdoors.

The standard specification of designs available at Drewnolandia includes, among others:

• timber-frame construction of the walls, floor and roof,

• windows matched to the character of the building,

• exterior and interior doors,

• wood preservation and painting of the timber elements,

• roof covering with flashings.

Residential versions add mineral wool insulation, wind barrier and vapour barrier membranes, electrical and plumbing installations, and gutters with downpipes. Thanks to this, small all-year cabins up to 50 m² provide comfortable use throughout the year, even in lower temperatures. As a result, selected models in this collection take on the character of small residential homes – they are suitable for longer stays, remote work, and even permanent living for one or two people.

Ergonomics, low build costs, high comfort – cabins up to 50 m² from Drewnolandia.pl

Drewnolandia's offer includes a wide range of cabins up to 50 m² – from small recreational cabins to compact, well-thought-out homes. Every design is created with ergonomics and users' real needs in mind: well-proportioned rooms, logical circulation routes, the option to separate private and shared areas, and options to expand with terraces, carports, gazebos or garden sheds.

Another important advantage is the possibility of personalisation. You can redesign the interior layout and the placement of windows or doors, and adapt the structure to your needs. You can get information about personalising a cabin before purchase by contacting our Customer Service Department.

As the manufacturer, we take care of the entire process: from preparing the structure to assembly on site. We encourage you to contact our team – we help you match a design to the provisions of the local development plan, the development conditions and the parameters of your plot. We also advise on additional fitting-out of the cabin, so that it meets your requirements for comfort, energy efficiency and later running costs.

Frequently asked questions about cabins up to 50 m²

In the section below, we have gathered answers to the questions our customers most often ask when choosing a timber-frame cabin.

Can cabins up to 50 m² be built on notification?

Yes, cabins up to 50 m² fall within the rules for buildings up to 70 m² built on notification, provided the design meets the requirements of the building law and the local spatial development plan.

What is the difference between a holiday cabin and a small all-year cabin up to 50 m²?

What installations do all-year cabins up to 50 m² from Drewnolandia include?
