Homes, roof spaces and shared buildings.
Timber homes, attic conversions and small multi-family houses, designed by our Leipzig-Plagwitz studio.
Discuss your projectTimber homes
A home begins with the way you want to live: where you gather, where you retreat and how the rooms meet the garden. Timber gives these everyday questions a material language.
We design timber homes with attention to the whole space and the places you touch, from the room’s proportions to the depth of a window opening.
From structure to window sill
The edge of a cross-laminated timber panel makes its construction visible. At a window, that same thickness becomes part of the room.
A small team, a shared table
Holzwerk Architektur is a team of four architects led by Jana Krüger. Your home is the subject of a direct conversation with the people designing it.
Images on this page are architectural and studio illustrations, not documentation of completed Holzwerk projects.
Attic conversions
The space beneath a roof has a character of its own. Sloping ceilings, changing heights and the position of daylight shape what it can become.
Our starting point is the existing building: understanding its structure, finding useful headroom and considering how the new living space connects to the floors below.
Let the roof remain a room
This illustrative interior explores how a living area can sit within the roof’s full volume, with furniture beneath the slopes and open space where the ceiling rises.
Small multi-family houses
Several homes in one timber building need more than repeated floor plans. Each dwelling needs its own daylight and privacy; shared spaces need to feel useful and welcoming.
We design small multi-family houses in cross-laminated timber, considering the individual home alongside the entrance, circulation and outdoor spaces that neighbours share.
Individual homes, one building
An illustrative garden view brings the relationship between dwelling windows, private outdoor areas and shared planting into focus.
The space between front doors
Our studio is based in Leipzig-Plagwitz. Its courtyards offer a familiar point of reference for thinking about arrival, planting and the space between buildings.
Which kind of space are you considering?
A new timber home, an unused roof space or a building for several households: tell us about the site and what you have in mind. That is a useful place to begin.
