Hirt
About This Home
Baufritz has been building ecological timber homes since 1896, and the Hirt is one of their most explicitly Alpine-influenced designs. The alpine-style pitched roof, balanced facade with timber elements, and attic space all directly reference mountain residential architecture rather than simply gesturing towards it. At just under 138 m° across two levels plus attic, the layout can accommodate larger family needs with the attic providing additional usable space.
The ecological timber frame uses Baufritz's proprietary wood shaving insulation throughout, with state-of-the-art energy-efficient heating, eco-friendly water heating, and modern utility systems built to German building regulations. Home automation options and contemporary accessibility features are available within the specification. The allergy-friendly material standard applies throughout.
The Hirt is particularly relevant for buyers with rural mountain or upland sites where the Alpine form sits naturally in its context. The design earns its reference rather than appropriating it superficially. Interior configurations and finishes are customisable. German engineering standards apply, with Swiss and Austrian project compliance managed on a site-specific basis.
What We Love
The Hirt is one of the most authentically Alpine designs in the Baufritz range: the roof form, balcony treatment, timber facade detailing, and attic structure all reflect genuine mountain architectural tradition rather than a contemporary interpretation of it.
