Preferred house or architectural house: Why not both?

Prefabricated houses do not enjoy a good reputation for many construction families. They sound like standardization or uniformity or simply after the perfect absence of individuality and individual design.

But this idea is deceptive, because prefabricated houses can also be architectural houses, i.e. individually planned and designed.

Bad reputation of the prefabricated houses

At prefabricated houses, you inevitably think of row house or suburban settlements in which a house is the perfect copy of its neighboring houses. If they had no house number, you would hardly be able to find your own house among all the same neighboring houses.

Of course, modern row house settlements or new development areas no longer look as terrible as in the 1990s, because the modern row house takes great bonds in the last major architecture trend, the Bauhaus.

Reductionist forms , clear lines and lots of glass , the producers of modern row houses have been copied from the Bauhaus . In addition, a very simple basic shape has been chosen with the cub or cube, which can also act as a module. This means that even in the row house settlement through modularized components, a little variety can be generated.

Conversely, more and more finished parts are moving into the architectural house. Stone on stone or a real half -timbering is now only built in exceptional cases or in the luxury area. Instead, wall or roof elements are prefabricated and on the spot the individual needs of the construction family and the concrete requirements of the property are tuned.

Whether a concrete wall was cast on site or already arrives as a finished wall at the construction site does not make a difference for the residents or aesthetics. It is not uncommon for the architectural house to be a prefabricated house at least two thirds.

Individually planned prefabricated houses

The difference between prefabricated houses and the desired houses planned by architects is increasingly blurred. Modern manufacturing technology and building materials allow the pre -ready individual parts and modularized elements allow creative solutions according to the preferences of the customer and adapted to the terrain.

The individual plan and adaptability at Huf Haus now goes so far that you no longer have to speak of a prefabricated house, but of an architectural house with finished dividing elements . The family company founded in 1912 is based on the half -timbering , but also on the Bauhaus .

the compartments , which are bricked up in the classic half -timbering with bricks, are filled out by glass panes, which ensures light -flooded, open interiors compared to nature. The supporting wooden structure, which ensures an optimal living climate, was taken over by the classic half -timbering.

minimalist style were taken over by the Bauhaus , as well as the visibility of the components that are not hidden behind blend facades.

This way of building turns out to be as flexible to individual customer requests and off -road facilities that the prefabricated house no more left than the advantages, while all disadvantages in terms of uniformity could be overcome.

Combine the advantages of both worlds

Thus, modern manufacturing processes and in particular glass as a building material allow individually planned houses to be built to the customer requirements, which largely come out of the workshop. The relatively fast completion and thus also the reduction of construction costs, i.e. the advantages of a prefabricated house , can be combined with the freedom of the architect's house.

You can decide for yourself, even in slopes, water plots and other challenging terrain, how the floor plan should look like, how many floors you want to build with which room layout and what the roof should look like. Even additions to existing buildings are not a problem.

With the modern architecture planning methods , the construction family can also get a complete picture of their new property before even one foundation has been laid. The 3D presentation allows the customer even deeper to join the joint planning with the architect. This enables the room cut and the design of the outer walls to be coordinated in an early planning phase in such a way that intimate retreats are also created in an otherwise sun -drenched house.

And with all flexibility and consideration of all customer requests, companies like Huf succeeds in offering all services from a single source, submitting a realistic schedule and building the individual wish house at a permanently agreed price.

The construction family does not expect long waiting times and no unforeseen cost explosions. The long -term cooperation with the same craftsmen, architects and engineers also guarantees a consistently high quality standard.
