How It All Began: The Story Behind Promethean House
Built from Vision, Designed for Quality, Inspired by European Innovation
A few years ago, George Walland, one of our co-founders, was in the market to build his dream home in Europe. Dissatisfied with the lengthy, traditional methods of brick-and-mortar construction, he began exploring alternative options. When he stumbled upon prefabricated modular houses, he was intrigued by the speed and efficiency they promised. However, George quickly realized two significant issues: none of the available designs truly met his needs, and the quality of the technology on offer fell short of European standards.
Determined to overcome these challenges, George collaborated with a skilled architect to create something new—homes that would combine the best of modular efficiency with high-quality materials and versatile, functional designs. Together, they developed 2, 3, and 4-bedroom modular homes that catered to a range of lifestyles and preferences. This was the start of Promethean House.
Today, Promethean House has grown into a global company, offering European-designed modular homes that meet the highest standards in quality and craftsmanship. Our mission is to provide affordable, durable, and beautifully designed homes to markets worldwide, with a focus on regions facing high housing demand and shortages.
Join us as we transform the future of housing with innovation, efficiency, and the quality of European design.
