Norske Mikrohus

What Norske Mikrohus does

Norske Mikrohus AS is a privately held Norwegian designer, developer, and seller of factory-built micro-houses, founded in 2018 by Jeanette and David Reiss-Andersen and headquartered in Oslo. The company designs four primary models — Rast (15 m²), Heim and Tind (20 m²), and Flor (30 m²) — all built to TEK17 (the Norwegian technical building standard) and certified to energy class B, which qualifies buyers for a Grønt Boliglån (green mortgage). Manufacturing is outsourced to a strategic partner, Tinde Hytter AS, at Nord-Europas largest element factory on Vinstra in Gudbrandsdalen, where a dedicated line has capacity for roughly 150 micro-house units per year; finished units are transported by trailer and crane-lifted onto site.

The company generates revenue through two primary channels: direct standalone unit sales (starting at 1,090,000 NOK for the Rast model) and project development, where Norske Mikrohus sources or partners on land and sells house-plus-plot packages (2,415,000-2,990,000 NOK) across multiple Norwegian locations including Eplehagen (Skjolden), Vang i Valdres, Himmelrommet (Ogna), Byrknesøy, Turufjell, and Lifjell. Ancillary services include a 7,500 NOK pre-study package and bundled building-application support through partner CK Nor Bygg. Go-to-market is sales-led with direct consultation meetings, supplemented by real-estate broker Privatmegleren for project sales, and a digital marketing presence across website, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, email newsletters, and webinars. Target customers are individual homeowners, holiday/recreation seekers, property developers with land, and municipalities seeking affordable housing; the company self-identifies as the market leader for micro-houses in Norway and reports annual revenue doubling since founding.
