Three ways to make room.

A new timber home, an inhabited roof, a house shared by several households. These are the scales we work at in Leipzig-Plagwitz and beyond.

Homes in timber.

A home starts before the front door. The approach, the entrance and the first view into a room belong to the same design question: how do you want to live here?

Start with the everyday route.

Where do you put down your bags? How does the kitchen meet the garden? A clear arrangement of ordinary moments gives a timber home its character.

Your site and the way you live

Life under the roof.

An attic already has a shape. The work is to find the rooms within it—without treating every sloping edge as lost space.

Work with what is there.

The stair determines how you arrive. The roof determines where you can stand. Light changes how deep a room feels. An attic conversion brings those conditions into one plan.

Look beyond the floor area.

Existing structure, access and the route for building work need attention alongside the new rooms. Understanding the building comes before deciding what to add.

Small multi-family houses.

Several front doors, one building. We design small multi-family houses in cross-laminated timber, with attention to the spaces residents share and the privacy each home needs.

A shared address. A door of your own.

The entrance and stair are part of everyone’s home. Their position shapes the building just as much as the rooms behind each front door.

What could your place become?

A plot, an existing house or an unused attic is enough to begin a conversation. Tell Jana Krüger and the team what you have in mind.
