Expansion into B2B Custom Solutions with First 20-Pyeong Models
Up to 74% Lower Price Per Pyeong Compared to Previous Versions
Customizable Furniture, Storage, Appliances, and Exterior Materials

LG Electronics is expanding its customer-oriented residential solutions business with the launch of two new models of its modular home, the LG Smart Cottage.


The LG Smart Cottage is a modular home that integrates AI appliances and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) technologies. The products launched by LG Electronics on June 29 are the ‘MONO Core 72’ (floor area: 72.9 square meters, approx. 22 pyeong) and the ‘MONO Core 82’ (floor area: 82.1 square meters, approx. 24 pyeong), both single-story models in the 20-pyeong range. Analyzing accumulated customer feedback and market demand data, LG Electronics expanded the usable space compared to previous models and reduced the price per pyeong.


Both products feature two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. The MONO Core 82 offers a more spacious and comfortable living environment by expanding one of the rooms compared to the MONO Core 72.


As the first products in the 20-pyeong range, the new models offer more space than previous versions, making them suitable not only for residential use but also for corporate training centers as well as leisure and accommodation facilities. Additionally, the options system has been subdivided, allowing customers to choose furniture and storage configurations, appliances and IoT (Internet of Things) devices, layout, and exterior materials for each space, enabling customization to suit their intended use. Notably, the modular design allows for adjustments to the entrance direction and roof shape to fit the surrounding environment.

Inside, AI-powered home hub ‘ThinQ On’ is provided as standard, along with smart door locks, smart switches, IoT devices, system air conditioning, and a condensing boiler. Customers can use ThinQ On to communicate with the AI in everyday language and manage a variety of devices throughout the home. Additional options such as AI appliances, ventilation solutions, and solar panels can be added to create spaces tailored to different lifestyles.


The starting prices (including VAT) for the MONO Core 72 and MONO Core 82 are 199.5 million won and 223.5 million won, respectively, with the final price varying depending on selected options and installation environment. When comparing the price per pyeong to previous products, it is up to 76% more affordable.


Customers can visit the LG Smart Cottage website to virtually select the installation site, product type, furniture package, exterior/interior colors, and finishing materials, as well as check the estimated cost. Upon request for an on-site inspection, a specialist manager will visit the location to assess delivery feasibility, analyze the land, and provide tailored guidance on the contract process.


To allow customers to experience the new LG Smart Cottage models in person, LG Electronics will exhibit the MONO Core 72 at Hyundai Premium Outlet Gimpo branch for two months starting June 29. The interior features a full-option package integrating AI appliances, IoT devices, and HVAC technology, enabling visitors to experience a differentiated AI home. One-on-one docent tours and personalized consultations can be reserved in advance through the website.


The LG Smart Cottage lineup is divided into two types by shape and size: the single-story ‘MONO’ and the two-story ‘DUO.’ With these new models, LG Electronics now offers eight different options—8-pyeong (single/two-story), 14-pyeong (single/two-story), 16-pyeong (single/two-story), 22-pyeong (single-story), and 24-pyeong (single-story)—providing customers with a wider range of choices.


LG Smart Cottage units are manufactured using a pre-fabrication (pre-fab) method, with more than 70% of major materials such as structural frames, windows, wiring, bathrooms, and kitchen fixtures produced in advance and then assembled on-site. This method shortens the construction period by more than 50% compared to traditional reinforced concrete construction. LG Electronics is collaborating with modular housing specialist Spacewaybee, as well as various other companies in the modular housing sector.



Jo Yeonwoo, CEO of LG Electronics Smart Cottage Company, said, "The new models are innovative residential solutions that meet a variety of business needs, including not only housing but also corporate training centers and leisure and accommodation facilities, thanks to their expanded space and reasonable pricing. We will continue to offer new customer experiences by combining AI technology with customized spatial experiences."
