Illustrative residential model study.
Timber homes & conversions in Leipzig.
Holzwerk Architektur designs timber homes, attic conversions and small multi-family houses in cross-laminated timber. A four-person studio in Leipzig-Plagwitz, led by Jana Krüger.
A roof is not yet a room.
The stair determines where you arrive. The roof pitch determines where you can stand. A roof light changes where you might sit.
Read those relationships together: does the stair arrive beneath usable headroom? Can daylight reach beyond the roof opening? What remains for furniture and everyday movement?
The model shown is illustrative, not evidence of a Holzwerk commission. Assess the studio’s work through project-specific drawings and documentation.

New space.
Existing fabric.
A new home, a roof brought into use, or several households under one roof. These are the scales Holzwerk works at.
Timber homes
A home considered from its first threshold to its everyday rooms, with timber at the heart of the design.

The way in is
part of the home.
In Plagwitz, a doorway often leads somewhere you cannot see from the street. A narrow passage opens into a courtyard; the city gives way to a more private world.
That sequence is the starting point here. Not a building seen in isolation, but a place understood by moving through it.

A team of four.
Holzwerk Architektur is a four-person architecture studio led by Jana Krüger, based in Leipzig-Plagwitz.
Its work centres on timber homes, attic conversions and small multi-family houses in cross-laminated timber: three ways of making room for domestic life.
