Start with how you want to live.
A home for your family, more space beneath an existing roof, or several homes sharing a building: tell us what needs to change and what matters enough to keep.
Architecture from Leipzig-Plagwitz.
We are Holzwerk Architektur: four architects led by Jana Krüger, working on timber homes, attic conversions and small multi-family houses in cross-laminated timber.
Our starting point is the place itself. The way in, the neighbouring buildings, the light under a roof. Before a building takes shape, these relationships give us something to work with.
Jana Krüger and the studio.
A team of four keeps the conversation close to the work. Jana leads the studio; together, we consider the whole home, from its position on the site to the spaces within it.
Timber construction and conversion ask different questions. A new home begins with what could be built. An attic begins with what is already there. Both need careful attention to structure, daylight and everyday use.

Four architects, a shared table
Plans and physical models give us a common point of reference. They make it possible to discuss an entrance, a room or a roof space as part of the same building—not as separate decisions.
A place at the table.
You do not need a finished brief to start a conversation. Bring the place you have in mind and the questions you are trying to answer.
Explore the project typesPut the place into the conversation.
A site, an existing building or a roof space gives the discussion its bearings. Plans and photographs, if you have them, help us understand the setting before considering a direction.
Make room for the practical questions.
Budget, timing and uncertainty belong at the table too. Sharing them early helps frame a useful discussion about your project and the next step.
