There are new dots on the KODA map, as well as a whole new country! The first KODAs have arrived in Switzerland and were privately installed in a beautiful mountainous setting. This marks a huge milestone for Kodasema, to have adapted KODAs to the extra stringent\u00a0Swiss norms and regulations. KODA houses have always been known for their high quality and energy efficiency, but the Swiss norms regarding movable housing took our engineering creativity to the\u00a0extreme.\u00a0The challenge was an enormous work and intense\u00a0joint effort from electrical engineers both in Estonia and in Switzerland. But&#8230; we made it!<\/p>\n<p>Our team of <strong>CEO\u00a0Birgit Linnam\u00e4e<\/strong>\u00a0and <strong>COO\u00a0Kelli Roosim\u00e4gi<\/strong>\u00a0recently travelled to the region to explore the new KODAs in Switzerland, discuss with new property developers there\u00a0as well as meet up with our Austrian KODA owners near the Swiss-Austrian border.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the several new expansion plans in Switzerland and near its border \u2013 both in Austria as well as France\u00a0\u2013 we also spoke to large\u00a0holiday park developers from Germany who travelled down to meet us.<\/p>\n<p>Back in the day\u00a0when we designed and produced our first house, the much-adorned KODA Concrete, it looked like we were ahead of our time. People were not quite ready for the concept of environment-conscious downsizing and tiny living. The need to re-densify cities where on-site build is too complicated or not viable \u2013 and remember we need it as 1 million people globally move to cities every week \u2013 and meanwhile use of infill land was new to many, aside from the idea of simply holidaying in a tiny house.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-4469\" src=\"https:\/\/kodasema.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Kodasema-team-in-Switzerland_2023-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Kodasema team visiting Switzerland\" width=\"640\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kodasema.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Kodasema-team-in-Switzerland_2023-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kodasema.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Kodasema-team-in-Switzerland_2023-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kodasema.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Kodasema-team-in-Switzerland_2023-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kodasema.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Kodasema-team-in-Switzerland_2023-1536x960.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/kodasema.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Kodasema-team-in-Switzerland_2023.jpg 1890w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>The world has changed. People can often no longer afford to buy land, so placing a 50 sqm KODA Loft Extended, our movable 3 bedroom unit, in a backyard of a say 1000 sqm land plot, is an alternative and often less costly way for young people to be able to afford a home of their own. When needs change, the grandparents can swap to move into the KODA in the yard and young families enjoy the benefits of the main property. Adding KODA homes on existing plots with houses creates the space we need, at a price we can pay and in quality that is friendly to our planet.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, we are approached more and more by developers with plans for long-term rental properties, and directly by people with plans for permanently setting up their lives in KODAs. Compared to where we started from, there is now an\u00a0entire range of KODA models\u00a0from 19.95 sq m to 50 sq m, to respond to the variety of needs and use cases.<\/p>\n<p>For anyone looking into KODAs in Switzerland: please meet\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/sandro-glaus-23430923\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Sandro Glaus<\/strong><\/a>, our agent in Switzerland.
