A multi-family house in cross-laminated timber

Deep reveals and vertical larch give a courtyard house its quiet, steady face.

Open living room with exposed CLT walls and ceiling, an oak table and afternoon light

Inside, the structure stays visible

The panels that hold the house up are also the walls you live between.

Attic conversion with a sloping timber ceiling and a roof window seen from the stair

An attic, opened up to its roof

We take the slope of the old roof as the room and line it in timber, so a dark loft becomes a bright home with the stair as its first view.

Spruce, crossed in layers

Cross-laminated timber is built from spruce boards glued in alternating directions. It is strong, precise and prefabricated, so the shell of a house goes up in days rather than months.

Four architects, one table

Holzwerk is a team of four, led by Jana Krüger. We draw, build models and talk through every house together in the studio in Plagwitz.

Plagwitz is where we work

Brick factories, a canal and a courtyard: the neighbourhood our houses are drawn for.
