Tell us about your projectJana Krüger and the team
Holzwerk Architektur is a team of four architects led by Jana Krüger. Our studio is based in Leipzig-Plagwitz; our focus is housing built with timber.
A house, a space beneath the roof, a building shared by several households: each asks a different question about how we live. That is where the conversation begins.
Designing homes in timber.
Timber is the common thread in our work, from individual homes to small multi-family houses in cross-laminated timber.
We are interested in the whole home as much as the construction: the depth of a window opening, daylight across a room and the relationship between private spaces and shared life.
Room beneath the roof
An attic conversion starts with an existing volume. The slope, the structure and the available light become the starting points for a home rather than obstacles to conceal.
Our work includes making these spaces part of everyday domestic life.
A home among neighbours
For small multi-family houses, the question expands: how can individual homes sit comfortably together? We design this housing in cross-laminated timber, considering the building alongside the rooms within it.
