Timber architecture for modern Leipzig.

From our studio in Plagwitz, we design timber homes, attic conversions and small multi-family houses in cross-laminated timber.

Timber homes

Bespoke, high-performance houses designed from the ground up, joining indoor comfort to the garden outside.

Attic conversions

Top-floor rooms with exposed CLT walls, sloped ceilings and daylight, added to historic Leipzig rooftops.

Small multi-family houses

Timber houses with balconies that sit beside Leipzig's tenements and add homes to the street.

The CLT approach

Cross-laminated timber is solid wood in glued crosswise layers. It is strong enough to carry a building, and it stores carbon rather than emitting it.

We draw every house around the panel: its grain, its joints and its surface stay visible inside the finished rooms.

Jana Krüger and the studio

Holzwerk Architektur is four architects in Leipzig-Plagwitz, led by Jana Krüger. We stay with each project from first sketch to completion, and the person you meet first is the person who draws your house.
