LG Expands Its Smart Cottage Series With Budget-Friendly Modular Homes

On October 2, LG Electronics introduced new additions to its LG Smart Cottage lineup — affordable modular homes designed to meet the needs of people embracing flexible lifestyles such as “Five Urban, Two Rural Days” and “Workation” (a combination of work and vacation).

Modular homes are built from prefabricated sections, or “modules,” that are manufactured in a factory and then assembled on-site, offering faster construction and consistent quality.

The new lineup features two models: the MONO Core 27, an open-plan 27㎡ (8-pyeong) single-story unit, and the MONO Core 54, a larger 54㎡ (16-pyeong) single-story layout with separated spaces. With these additions, LG’s Smart Cottage range now includes six different types — available in both one- and two-story configurations and sizes of 8, 14, and 16 pyeong.

Samsung Smart Modular Home: a New Generation of Living Spaces with Artificial Intelligence Support

At the international consumer electronics exhibition IFA 2025, Samsung Electronics presented the Smart Modular Home concept — an integrated solution for organizing a new format of living space using artificial intelligence technologies.

The concept combines AI functions, home appliances, energy-efficient heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, as well as centralized control through the SmartThings and SmartThings Pro platforms. All components operate within a single ecosystem, which provides a comprehensive approach to creating modern housing. The presentation of Smart Modular Home took place at IFA 2025. The company also announced plans to bring the solution to the global B2B market.
