Crichton
About This Home
Baufritz has been building ecological timber homes since 1896, and the Crichton is a substantial contemporary two-storey design at just over 230 m°. The combination of flat and pitched roof elements creates an exterior that is more architecturally varied than a single-form design, while the mixed material contemporary facade and large energy-efficient windows give it a strong visual presence. The open-concept layout promotes flexible living spaces across the generous floor plan.
The ecological timber frame uses Baufritz's proprietary wood shaving insulation throughout, alongside energy-efficient heating, eco-friendly water heating, modern climate control, and smart home integration. Premium ecological materials apply consistently. The specification is thorough and the build quality is consistent with the full Baufritz range.
The Crichton is a well-suited choice for buyers who want a large contemporary home with genuine ecological credentials and an exterior that has more architectural variety than a single-pitch or flat-roof design. Interior configurations and finishes are customisable. German standards apply, with UK compliance confirmed on a project by project basis.
What We Love
The Crichton's combination of flat and pitched roof elements creates a more visually varied exterior than most designs at this scale, and the 230 m° floor plan gives the open-concept layout room to actually deliver on the promise.
