Mommsen
About This Home
Baufritz has been manufacturing ecological timber homes in Bavaria since 1896, and the Mommsen sits comfortably in the mid-range of their portfolio. At just under 124 m² across two levels, the layout is well-proportioned for a two-bedroom household that wants genuine living space without unnecessary scale. Large energy-efficient windows are positioned to maximise natural light across both floors.
The ecological timber frame construction uses Baufritz's proprietary wood shaving insulation throughout, paired with modern heating, climate control, and eco-friendly water heating. The Mommsen also meets Baufritz's allergy-friendly material standard, which is a consistent feature of their builds and a genuine point of difference in the timber frame market.
The facade combines contemporary finishes with timber detailing, giving it a considered appearance without leaning too heavily on either modern minimalism or traditional Alpine references. Full customisation of layouts and finishes is available. German standards apply, with UK compliance confirmed on a project by project basis.
What We Love
The Mommsen brings Baufritz's proprietary wood shaving insulation and allergy-friendly build standards to a compact, well-resolved floor plan that doesn't compromise on liveability.
