LG Smart Cottage with low-carbon steel components touted as the future of prefab architecture

Korean tech giant LG has unveiled a futuristic Smart Cottage, a modular and energy-efficient modern home appliance system. The Smart Cottage’s module components are made with solid low-carbon steel materials produced by POSCO, a Korean steel firm. The cottage is a culmination of LG’s collaboration with Dan-Wood, a European timber prefab company.

LG Electronics is projecting the Smart Cottage as the future of the modern home. It is smaller, smarter, and more energy efficient than its peers. The Smart Cottage companion mobile app is ThinQ which provides a seamless operation of the cottage. The Smart Cottage is a prefabricated house fully stocked with premium LG appliances atop an efficient heating and cooling architecture. It offers efficient heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), and solar energy supply. The LG Smart Cottage has touches of warm hardwood, tile, and fabric finishes across the smart residence.

The LG Smart Cottage’s structure is showcased in a cool exterior (Sea Ranch) with a touch of Silicon Valley condo. The exterior is aesthetically exciting while the interior options include lighter and darker themes. It has a two-story studio-like layout with optimized functionality, space efficiency, and an eco-enhanced performance. The highly futuristic Smart Cottage offers comfort and convenience.

The Smart Cottage is a highly integrated system with several built-in kitchen equipment like the WashTower Compact, QuadWash Dishwasher, the Therma V Monobloc air-to-water heat pump, and a water purifier. The ThinQ is LG’s smart home premium technology for seamless control of the Smart Cottage. The LG Smart Cottage was expertly showcased during IFA 2023 but its release optics are not known yet. The very comfortable home setup of the LG Smart Cottage will be a delight if it eventually becomes a production model, as several similar concepts have not been successful.
