Herndl

Baufritz has been building ecological timber homes since 1896, and the Herndl is a two-storey design that works within a traditional pitched-roof form while incorporating modern functional elements. At just under 124 m², the layout fits three bedrooms across two floors with a considered balance between living spaces and private rooms. The ecological timber frame and Baufritz's proprietary wood shaving insulation are central to the construction.

Contemporary technology is integrated throughout: energy-efficient heating, climate management, and smart home options are all available within the specification. The traditional exterior proportions sit well in rural or semi-rural settings where a more modern facade might not. Allergy-friendly, chemical-free materials are used throughout, consistent with Baufritz's approach across the range.

The Herndl is a well-suited option for buyers who want a traditionally formed home with a genuinely high ecological specification. It doesn't overclaim architecturally or technically. Interior configurations and finishes are customisable. German standards apply, with UK compliance confirmed on a project by project basis.

The Herndl keeps the traditional pitched-roof form honest while delivering Baufritz's full ecological build specification underneath: it's a straightforward, well-resolved combination.
