Tawse House
About This Home
The Tawse House is a striking contemporary design from Baufritz: a two-storey home covering 164 m² with floor-to-ceiling triple-glazed windows dominating the main elevation. The flat or low-pitched roof and mixed materials of timber cladding and render give it a modern character, and the abundance of glazing is the defining feature rather than an accent.
Baufritz's patented wood shaving insulation and ecological timber frame are standard, ensuring strong thermal performance despite the large glazed areas. Allergy-friendly, chemical-free materials are used throughout, and optional solar or renewable energy systems are available.
For buyers who want a home where daylight and the connection between interior and exterior are genuinely prioritised in the design rather than stated as a principle, the Tawse House is one of the more committed models in the Baufritz range.
What We Love
Floor-to-ceiling triple-glazed windows on the main elevation make the Tawse House one of the most light-filled designs in the Baufritz range. The thermal envelope holds up despite the glazing, which is where the wood shaving insulation does real work.
