Home Construction Specialist: Baufritz
Baufritz, a renowned name in the German market for over a century, has been gracing the UK with its eco-friendly homes for more than 15 years. Established in Southern Germany, Baufritz has become one of Europe's leading ecological timber frame house manufacturers, known for its commitment to sustainable building and high-quality construction.
Baufritz homes are distinguished by their use of natural, sustainable materials and advanced energy-efficient design, built to passive house standards. Key features include high-quality triple glazing, airtight timber frame construction, mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, and thermal insulation made from wood shavings.
One of the most notable examples of Baufritz's work is "House Long," located in a grade-II listed arboretum in Hampshire. This contemporary architecture comprises three distinct volumes stacked one upon the other, with the inverted floor plan placing guest rooms below and living spaces above. The house was manufactured off-site by Baufritz with walls and windows fitted, and it was built using natural materials that contrast and interact with the foliage.
Inside House Long, a muted color scheme, a finely crafted oak staircase, extensive glazing, and rooflights allow light to stream into the living space through the lattice of leaves. Elegant grey floor tiles in the living area and on the terrace merge the interior living area with the outdoor patio, creating an seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces.
Baufritz's commitment to sustainability is evident in its use of HOIZ insulation, a natural wood waste product for high-level insulation. This, along with the isolated glazing in windows and doors, minimizes heat loss, contributing to House Long's excellent energy efficiency rating.
The Neumann family, art collectors and dog lovers, built a new Bauhaus-style home in the countryside with Baufritz. The clear, cubic structure of their house blends into the coastal woodland landscape. Inside, they enjoy a library crafted by Baufritz's master carpenters, a private yoga and fitness room, and a sophisticated lighting concept using flicker-free LEDs.
Baufritz homes also offer options for photovoltaic solar panels and timber decking upon request, further enhancing their eco-friendliness. The company provides a full turnkey service, including planning permission, manufacturing, and assembly, making the process of owning a Baufritz home as seamless as possible.
In summary, Baufritz timber frame eco homes are more than just comfortable dwellings; they are sustainable dwellings that balance modern living with a low environmental footprint and high build quality. The company's emphasis on natural materials, advanced energy-efficient design, and passive house compliance make it a leader in the field of eco-friendly housing.
