Two-storey house clad in vertical timber boards with large windows, standing in a garden under a wide pale sky in low golden afternoon sun, no people

Timber houses, built for daylight.

Holzwerk Architektur designs timber homes, attic conversions and small multi-family houses in cross-laminated timber, from our studio in Leipzig.

Solid timber, cut to the millimetre.

Cross-laminated timber is spruce board glued in crossed layers into panels strong enough to be wall, floor and roof at once. We draw every opening before a single panel is cut.

The panels arrive on site finished and go up in days, dry and quiet. Inside, the timber stays visible: the structure is the surface you live with.

Timber homes

Detached houses for families who want to live inside the material: spruce walls, tall windows, rooms planned around where the sun is at breakfast.

Attic conversion interior with an exposed timber ceiling, two roof windows letting in soft light from above and a single reading chair on a wooden floor

Attic conversions

Timber is light enough for old Leipzig roofs to carry. We turn unused attics into rooms with top light and a ceiling worth looking up at.

Three-storey apartment house clad in timber standing between older brick buildings on a quiet city street in even daylight

Multi-family houses

Small apartment houses for gap sites and building groups: a handful of flats, built in cross-laminated timber between the brick neighbours.

Four architects, one long table.

Jana Krüger leads the studio. With three colleagues she takes each project from the first sketch to the day the panels are lifted into place.

We stay small on purpose. The architect you meet at the first conversation is the one who draws your house and stands on your site.

At home in Plagwitz.

Our studio is in a converted factory building in Leipzig-Plagwitz, a quarter of brick halls and canals that has been reusing its buildings for decades. It is a good place to think about what a structure can become.

Come by and handle the models. Seeing the timber at 1:50 answers most first questions.
