Long pale timber meeting table with small wooden scale models of houses and two empty chairs, beside a tall steel-framed factory window, plain pale plaster wall above, soft afternoon daylight, no people

Start with a conversation.

Tell us about the plot, the roof or the gap in the street. We design timber homes, attic conversions and small multi-family houses in Leipzig, and every one of them began with a talk at this table.

Send us your enquiry

Describe what you would like to build and where, in as many or as few words as you have, and one of our architects will come back to you to arrange a first conversation.

Open kitchen and dining room with pale cross-laminated timber walls and ceiling, a long table, daylight falling in from one tall window, no people

First, we talk.

On the phone or at the studio. We ask how you live, who the house is for and what it may cost. You ask us anything about building in cross-laminated timber. Nothing is commissioned at this point.

Then we look at the place.

A plot, a roof space, a gap between two neighbours: we come and see it. For an attic we climb up and look at the existing structure before anyone draws a line.

Then you get it in writing.

A proposal that sets out what we would design, in which stages, and what our work costs. You decide with the whole picture in front of you.

What helps on the first call

You do not need drawings or a finished brief. A few things, if you have them to hand, let us give you a straighter answer sooner.

For a home: Where the plot is, and whether you already own it.
For an attic conversion: A few photographs of the roof space and roughly when the house was built.
For a multi-family house: How many flats you have in mind, and any plans of the site or the neighbouring buildings.

Four architects read what you send.

We are a small studio: Jana Krüger and three colleagues. Your message is not passed through a sales desk. It lands with the people who would draw your house, and one of them calls you back.

Visit the studio in Plagwitz

We work in a converted brick factory by the canal in Leipzig-Plagwitz. The models are on the table and there are samples of cross-laminated timber you can pick up and turn over.

Visits are by appointment, so that an architect has time for you. When we fix a date we send you the door and the way in.
