From an idea to a European trademark
Two creators - One vision
The architectural origins of the typical HUF House date back to 1969. In his search for perfect craftsmanship, the architect Manfred Adams met entrpreneur Franz Huf. Manfred Adams sought to avoid any compromise in realising his idea, a timber-frame house with large windows and open plan design. At that time, Franz Huf's company already specialised in high quality timber-frame design. This fortuitous collaboration of two visionaries built the HUF FACHWERKHAUS 2000, which over the coming years evolved into an architectural icon and European brand.
The current generation of HUF Houses still bears the "genes" of this then revolutionary timber-frame innovation, although the technology, design principles and materials used have developed apace.
The architect Manfred Adams describes the philosophy behind HUF architecture as follows:
- Architect Manfred Adams
How does one create a house which is associated with a brand name? Firstly, the architecture must be distinctive and not surrender to passing trends. It must be easily recognisable and unambiguous in its constructive and aesthetic intentions. Its language must be one of simple stylistic elements; one which is the exact opposite of an idea vacuum. The floor plans and spacial design must be distinct and allow the owner and visitors a unique experience of space. It must be built to a perfect level of craftsmanship: the realisation of its detail must highlight its complete harmony. This harmony comes as a result of using a minimal amount of materials: wood, glass, stone and carpet.
Even a brand leader, a classic, must submit cautiously to change, because innovation, especially in technology, can endow a classic with lasting market success
Today, customers for the new generation of HUF House excel in the way they take responsibility for protecting the environment and climate. HUF HAUS shares this commitment with its customers in close accord with the philosophy behind HUF HAUS architecture.
Yours,
Manfred Adams
