Entrepreneurial vision: a retrospective

Businessman Franz Huf

We owe the fact that timber-frame construction has once again become a much sought-after building technique to, amongst others, entrepreneur Franz Huf and architect Manfred Adams. With a great step forward in innovation, following which countless other innovations would follow, the two brave men created, as early as 1972, the incomparable Europe-wide success of the "HUF FACHWERKHAUS 2000". This major innovation in timber-frame construction continues today to epitomise the HUF HAUS brand. Already in the early 1970s, the company could look back on more than a generation of experience in timber frame-construction and high-quality craftsmanship on the production line.

Founded on quality of life 

Those choosing a HUF House today can be certain that many decades of experience, the in-depth knowledge of architects and engineers, and the many examples of thoughtful attention to detail have increased its long-term value. Not to mention the quality of life that is fundamental to every HUF House.
