Our Story
We create just the kind of homes where we’d want to live ourselves!
About Us
Happy Home is a family-owned company born out of a passion for architecture and the latest construction technologies of the company creators, Mihkel and Liisa Nirgi. Mihkel, who has long-standing experience in real estate, and Liisa, who has a marketing background, started real estate development together and found that there is a need for standard house solutions with a distinctive design on the Estonian market.
For centuries, the word home has been equated with a wooden house for Estonians and we want a wooden house to still be the first choice for Estonians when building a new home
First, they tested the waters with small houses: outdoor kitchens, summer houses, sauna houses. In the course of their work, they found a unique material based on an innovative technology – cross-laminated timber, which is now the heart of the Happy Home houses.
Unique cross-laminated timber is the heart of the Happy Home houses
As customers also wanted private houses, they moved from modular houses towards prefabricated houses. The idea was to create prefabricated houses for more demanding customers that would differ from those offered on the market both in terms of architecture and construction technology.
Our ambition is to create homes that are suitable for living life to the fullest. Homes that provide a balance to the contrasts and hectic pace of everyday life. A Happy Home is a place where it just feels good to be surrounded by the combination of unique design and functional interior solutions.
We selected Japan, our first and still the most popular house, as our own home. This design received unexpected media coverage and several design awards and after that, Happy Home has developed at a rapid pace.
The second big dream of Liisa and Mihkel – bringing exciting elements from countries well known for their design to the local architectural landscape and offer alternatives to concrete and block houses, slowly began to take shape. After entering the market with the Japan house, 10 private houses were sold in a year. This was the maximum number that could be produced. Proximity to nature is important when designing the houses, as the possibility to be surrounded by natural materials has a positive effect on both the mind and health.
Cross-laminated timber has been chosen as the main construction material, meaning that the carbon footprint of the entire construction process is significantly smaller. Cross-laminated timber has a positive CO2 balance and the construction process is faster, cleaner, and less noisy compared to the construction of a concrete or block house.
By choosing a Happy Home house, you choose a healthier living environment, support green lifestyle, and Estonian design!
We create just the kind of homes where we’d want to live ourselves!
Happy Home houses are in harmony with nature and long-lasting both in terms of construction quality and architecture. Each house has a unique design, but they are all united by Happy Home’s vision. The homes we create are airy, bright, and spacious enough to bring joy to your family and to enable you to host friends and relatives.
All houses have high ceilings and large glass walls and are made of natural materials. We create homes that are stylish, functional, environmentally friendly, spacious and timeless. Just the kind of houses where we’d want to live ourselves.
We want to sell design, construction technology and materials abroad and are looking for resellers.
Today, the company has distributors in Sweden and a vision to sell its knowledge and design to foreign markets. Liisa and Mihkel emphasise that their daily work focuses on Estonia.
We have also designed solutions for a terraced house and semi-detached house. There are so many ways to grow! We want to offer our houses to foreign markets as a franchise, i.e. sell the design, construction engineering, and materials, but not build the houses ourselves.
