SCANDI HOMES

Healthy Homes. Honest Craftsmanship. Scandinavian Simplicity.

At AGATHĒ, we’re proud to be an authorised builder for Scandi Homes — bringing Scandinavian design principles, natural materials, and a healthier approach to construction into Australian homes.


Scandi’s prefab system aligns seamlessly with our Healthy Homes philosophy: using breathable structures, clean construction methods, and a calm, predictable building process to support your long-term wellbeing.

EUROPEAN QUALITY

For over a decade, Scandi Group (formerly YZY Kit Homes) has been revolutionising Australian building with European prefabrication technology and sustainable design. When founders Lina and Remi arrived in Australia in 2009, they noticed building standards here differed significantly from Europe—particularly in energy efficiency and use of natural materials.

Now, Agathe brings this innovative approach to Sydney's Northern Beaches, combining Scandi's proven European prefab systems with our commitment to quality, reliability, and exceptional client experience.

HOMES

As a licensed Scandi Homes builder, Agathē offers beautifully crafted prefab homes that blend modern architecture with natural materials and light-filled design. Each home — from the flexible, expandable Skogspire to the striking, family-ready Vikendell — is built with precision-engineered timber, cathedral ceilings, and generous glazing to create spaces that feel open, warm, and connected to nature. Prefabricated components allow your home to be built in just days, combining Scandinavian simplicity with Agathē’s commitment to craftsmanship and sustainability. The result is a refined, enduring home that evolves beautifully with your family’s lifestyle.

THE SCANDI DIFFERENCE

Eco-Friendly, Healthy, and Customizable

SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS

  • Timber construction from sustainably sourced European wood

  • Double-glazed windows

  • Superior insulation and thick wall panelling

  • Natural, breathable materials

  • 100% recyclable

  • CO2 captured and bound in timber

HEALTHY LIVING

  • Optimal air humidity for de-stress living

  • Superior insulation for year-round comfort

  • Excellent soundproofing between rooms

  • Natural light maximization

  • Minimal heating/cooling needed even in extreme temperatures

PREFABRICATION BENEFITS

  • Reduced construction time by up to 33%

  • Minimal on-site waste

  • Precision-engineered components with advanced CNC machinery

  • Weather-independent manufacturing

  • Consistent quality control

  • Simplified construction process

  • Scandi Homes are built around natural materials, breathable timber structures, and clean construction methods that support better indoor air quality, moisture balance, and overall comfort.

    Because major components are prefabricated in a dry, controlled environment, they begin life without the moisture exposure, dust, or contaminants common in on-site builds.


    The result is a home that feels cleaner, calmer, and healthier from day one.

  • Prefab simply means major parts of your home — walls, panels, roof elements — are built off-site in a climate-controlled workshop.

    Once complete, they’re transported to your property and assembled with precision.


    This keeps your materials protected, reduces site disruption, and ensures a cleaner, faster, and more predictable build.

  • Yes — significantly.

    Because timber and insulation stay dry during the manufacturing phase, there’s less chance of hidden moisture being trapped in your walls.

    Scandi’s breathable construction helps regulate humidity and reduce condensation, supporting a healthier indoor environment long-term.

  • Yes.
    Scandi uses sustainably sourced European timber and components selected with wellbeing in mind.
    Most adhesives, paints, and finishes used in the process are low-tox or natural, supporting lower VOC exposure and a cleaner indoor atmosphere.

    If you have specific sensitivities, we can tailor material selections even further during the PAC stage.

  • More than you’d expect.
    While Scandi Homes offer a range of proven designs, layouts can be adapted to your lifestyle, future needs, and aesthetic preferences.

    During PAC (our Paid-As-Consultant pre-construction service), we refine the design, selections, and layout so your home reflects how you live — not a generic plan.

  • Yes — extremely well.

    The natural timber systems, breathable walls, and insulated structures support stable indoor conditions in both warm and cool climates.


    We also adapt every design to local council and environmental requirements.

  • Absolutely.
    Scandi’s timber structure helps regulate temperature naturally.

    Combined with quality insulation and thoughtful window placement, these homes maintain consistent comfort with far less reliance on heating and cooling.

  • Yes.
    Every Scandi-designed granny flat (from the Scandi Cabin collection) uses the same natural materials, breathable construction, and prefab benefits as the larger Scandi Homes.

    They feel like small, beautifully crafted homes — not an afterthought or temporary structure.

  • PAC (Paid-As-Consultant) is our pre-construction service designed to give you clarity before committing to a full build contract.

    During PAC we finalise:

    • Design

    • Engineering

    • Selections

    • Pricing

    • Site investigations

    • Council requirements

    • All the healthy-home details that matter to you

    You’ll receive a fully transparent, detailed proposal — so you know exactly what’s included and what to expect.


    It’s the step that ensures your Scandi Home is done properly from day one.

  • Prefab is a premium method, but it often delivers far better value.

    Because there’s less waste, fewer delays, and tighter quality control, you’re investing in longevity, health, and predictability rather than risk and rework.

    We explore all costs openly with you during PAC.

  • Absolutely.
    We support a range of sustainability upgrades and integrate them during the design phase so everything works seamlessly together.

  • Scandi Homes are designed to be durable and low-maintenance.


    Timber requires care over time, but the systems are built to age gracefully and remain healthy for decades when maintained properly.

    We’ll guide you on exactly what to expect.

  • Yes.
    Healthy Homes and well-built prefab structures are increasingly recognised for their longevity, sustainability, and comfort — all of which are attractive to future buyers.

  • Because we build with intention.

    We combine:

    • Scandinavian prefab principles

    • Natural materials

    • Healthy-home design

    • PAC-led clarity

    • Transparent communication

    • Craftsmen who care about the details

    • A process designed to feel calm, not stressful

    With AGATHĒ, you’re not just building a home — you’re building a healthier environment for your family to grow in.
