Haus am Wald

Baufritz has been building ecological timber homes since 1896, and the Haus am Wald is designed specifically for woodland settings. The name translates directly as house in the forest, and the design takes that seriously: large windows are positioned to frame the surrounding trees and bring the outdoor environment into the interior. At just over 113 m² across two levels, the footprint is modest, which suits a woodland plot where the site itself is doing much of the work.

The ecological timber frame uses Baufritz's proprietary wood shaving insulation throughout, with advanced eco-technology and home automation integrated into the specification. The natural material palette throughout the build reinforces the connection to the woodland context rather than working against it.

The Haus am Wald is a strong choice for buyers with a forested or heavily planted site who want a home designed around that environment rather than placed on it. Interior configurations and finishes are customisable. German engineering standards apply, with UK compliance confirmed on a project by project basis.

The Haus am Wald is one of the few Baufritz models explicitly designed for a specific site type: the window placement, natural material palette, and overall layout are built around a woodland setting from the start.
