Frankel
About This Home
Baufritz has been building ecological timber homes since 1896, and the Frankel is one of their cleaner contemporary designs. The two-level layout spans just under 150 m² with a mixed material facade in a minimalist register. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms give it a generous bathroom-to-bedroom ratio that works well for a family or for buyers who want dedicated ensuite arrangements.
The ecological timber frame uses Baufritz's proprietary wood shaving insulation throughout. Large energy-efficient windows run through the design, supporting both the aesthetic and the thermal performance. Smart home integration is available, covering energy consumption management and climate control. The allergy-friendly material standard applies across the build.
The Frankel is a good fit for buyers who want a contemporary Baufritz home with a relatively clean exterior and a floor plan that gives space to bathrooms as well as bedrooms. Interior configurations and finishes are customisable. German standards apply, with UK compliance confirmed on a project by project basis.
What We Love
Three bathrooms across three bedrooms, built on Baufritz's full ecological timber frame specification: the Frankel is one of the few models in the range where the bathroom provision genuinely matches the bedroom count.
