Häussler
About This Home
Baufritz has been building ecological timber homes since 1896, and the Häussler is one of their traditional two-storey designs with an attic. The pitched roof and mixed facade maintain classic German residential proportions while the interior specification is fully contemporary. At just over 101 m², the layout works across two bedrooms with a design intended for a small family or couple who want architectural character rather than just square footage.
The ecological timber frame uses Baufritz's proprietary wood shaving insulation throughout, alongside high-performance windows and integrated energy systems. Outdoor spaces are incorporated into the design with scope for traditional garden arrangement. The allergy-friendly material standard applies, consistent with all Baufritz builds.
The Häussler is a good fit for buyers who value traditional exterior form and a credible ecological specification, and who aren't looking for a large floor plan. The construction quality and heritage behind the model are genuine. Layouts and finishes are customisable. German standards apply, with UK compliance confirmed on a project by project basis.
What We Love
The Häussler's traditional pitched roof and mixed facade deliver genuine residential character rather than a simplified contemporary form, backed by Baufritz's ecological timber frame construction and proprietary insulation.
