Haus am See
About This Home
Baufritz has been building timber homes in Bavaria since 1896, and the Haus am See is designed specifically for lakeside settings. The architecture centres on large panoramic windows and extensive outdoor terraces that face the water, creating an indoor-outdoor relationship that is clearly tied to the site rather than generic. A modern flat roof and contemporary facade keep the exterior clean.
Baufritz's ecological timber frame construction uses weather-resistant materials suited to waterfront conditions, and natural ventilation strategies make use of the lake breeze as part of the environmental control approach. Energy-efficient heating, eco-friendly water heating, and modern home automation are all integrated. At just over 103 m², the floor plan is comfortable for two occupants with space for guests.
For buyers with access to a waterfront plot, the Haus am See is one of the more considered site-specific prefab designs available.
What We Love
Natural ventilation strategies that use the lake breeze as part of the environmental control system is the kind of site-specific design thinking that makes the Haus am See genuinely distinctive.
