On this page, our clients share their personal impressions – open, honest, and authentic.

More than 10,000 people across Europe are already living in a HUF house and are part of the growing HUF family. You’ll find a selection of their stories here – and in moving images on our YouTube channel.

The Müller Family, Mutterstadt

They have lived in their HUF house for over 20 years – and are happier than ever. In an interview, the Müller family share how their journey to building their home began, why they chose HUF HAUS, and what they think of their home after all these years.

Why do they still not need shutters? What does the garden have to do with the living room? Why do friends sometimes forget they are only visiting... An honest account filled with heart, architecture, and genuine memories."

A family of four from the Munich area

"We prefer to spend our time on the ground floor, where the glass elements provide a fantastic view of the garden. The decision to go with HUF HAUS was indeed an easy one for us - no other provider convinced us in this segment. The large transparent fronts are simply a highlight and have been executed in an absolutely elegant and modern way,"" the homeowner is still delighted today with the decision to choose the family business from the Westerwald.

"In the house, it feels as if you are constantly surrounded by the river. This close connection with nature makes the design so unique – the architecture comes alive because of it,"" confirm the proud homeowners.

Architect family from the Westerwald

"Our HUF house has a very special look – with dark plaster sections and generous glass surfaces. We love the design and the openness. Our son can grow up with nature through the floor-to-ceiling glass fronts and experience his environment in a completely new way. This is only possible in a house like this."

Family M.

"Hello everyone, last week our HUF house was handed over to us. The result is fabulous, and we are sure that once all the furniture is in and we've unpacked all the boxes, our family (especially our little daughter) will have a lot of fun living in it! On this occasion, we would like to thank the entire HUF team once again. After the somewhat lengthy planning phase and waiting period, the schedule was massively brought forward, and everything went smoothly according to plan for us. Thank you very much!"

Christina and Karsten, Berlin

"I could celebrate every day! For me, HUF is not just a product, but a way of life. Every department, every employee, right up to the bosses, really makes it easy for you. This complete package is simply unbeatable; I've experienced it quite differently with solid construction,"" says Karsten, who has utilised the services of the HUF company group, starting with the financing.

A family from the Rheingau

“It has always been important to us to build a house that precisely matches our ideas of style, size, and location. We wanted a modern flat roof with clean lines and large glass surfaces. The flexibility was also tremendous. We were able to choose every component down to the smallest detail according to our wishes and needs. It was a lot of fun.”

Susanne and Yogi, Hamburg

"Years ago, I saw a photo in a specialist magazine and at that moment, it was immediately clear to me: if I were ever to build my own home, it would be a HUF house. The HUF architecture blurs the boundaries between inside and outside, making the views from the central living space appear like framed panoramas. That's how we want to live."

Leslie and Jonathan Turpin, UK

"We were on the verge of giving up hope on our dream home – and then HUF HAUS came into play. With their help, we achieved what we previously thought was nearly impossible: planning permission for a Grade II listed cottage. From that moment on, everything went smoothly, and today I have a premium home for my wife and me – and for my mother."

The Braun Family

"During the planning phase, we looked at various prefabricated house manufacturers. Then we visited the HUF village in Hartenfels. There, we noticed qualitative differences compared to other prefabricated house manufacturers and have to say that we were more impressed by the HUF houses. After all, a house is a long-term investment where quality plays an important role. Moreover, we felt that HUF HAUS is a competent supplier who knows their craft. 

The staff were able to answer all our questions immediately, which greatly impressed us. We also went through the production process and took a closer look at the stages of a house's creation, such as how the wood is processed. Once we had made our decision, we couldn't imagine anything else. Of course, you have to appreciate such an open design. The glass and the wood were definitely decisive aspects in our decision. As a family, we have a strong connection to nature due to our profession, and our HUF house allows us to bring nature into our home privately as well."

The Möller-Giaretti Family

"When both patio doors are open, you are practically in the garden while standing in the kitchen and dining area. Even in winter, we enjoy the full glazing facing the garden, which makes us feel almost like we're sitting outside.""

Family Weston, Bordeaux

"We are extremely satisfied with the service from HUF HAUS – particularly with the construction process itself, which went exceptionally smoothly and was perfectly planned."

Horst and Verena, Austria

"We have now been living in our dream HUF house for almost five years, which gives us a sense of freedom and connection with the surrounding nature. Every time we come home - from work, from holiday, or just from shopping - the joy of entering our home is like it was on the first day."

The Rätzel Family

"For me, HUF best understands how to showcase the architecture of the glass half-timbered house in such a way that it combines an extraordinary living experience with the highest quality. Our house provides a very special feeling of cosiness while simultaneously offering a view of the world outside."

Dani McDonald, UK

"We have now been living in our house for almost 10 years, and it still surpasses all the hopes and expectations we had at the start of the project."

Penny Ward, UK

"It is a beautiful morning here in Mouzens: The sun is rising, and I am sitting at breakfast. I am looking at the splendid new balcony that was completed yesterday. We are so happy with it! The balcony has turned out even more beautiful than we had imagined – and of course, I can now clean the windows with ease. 

Your team from HUF HAUS worked incredibly hard and did a fantastic job – they even tried to ensure that Derek could continue watching TV after the satellite dish was moved. They were so friendly and accommodating that I already miss them now that they have gone."

The Lawson Family, UK

"Even though we are not Buddhists, we love the philosophy – and everyone who visits our home feels a special peace and tranquillity upon arrival. This is especially true when they pass through the Shinto gate, which was masterfully crafted by the HUF team. Having previously tried many options in the United Kingdom, we are convinced: we would not have achieved such a result without the precision and quality from the HUF manufactory."

Family Paynter, UK

"Even after several years – whether summer or winter – we love coming home to our HUF house. We still can hardly believe that we actually live here!"

The Härtlein Family, near Nuremberg

“We have been living in our absolute dream house for several years now. From the initial planning stage to the handover of the keys, we felt very well looked after by HUF. The quality of living is unparalleled, and we still enjoy the view into the outdoor area through the large glass surfaces just as much as we did on the first day! A thoroughly successful project!”

Family S., Westerwald

“In our previous home, our evening ritual involved turning off the lights and - in the summer - perhaps opening all the windows. Today, the smart home function of our house, combined with the technology built into it, takes care of everything at the touch of a button.”

Müller Family, Ticino

"We prefer to spend our time in front of the fireplace or outside on the deckchair by the pool. In and around our house, we have several other favourite spots, which sometimes makes it hard to choose. Depending on the season, daily routine, weather, temperature, etc., our favourites change as well. In winter, the beautiful and still warm November days spent at midday on the deckchair by the natural pool are wonderful and a refreshing break from the office routine."

Léa Linster, Michelin-starred chef

"Once you've lived in a HUF house, you'll never let yourself be confined again."

Family from the UK

"We built our HUF house as a dream home for our family – and it has fulfilled our wishes in every way! Everyone loves it, the quality and design are outstanding, and the people at HUF are simply fantastic."

Family Streibel, Germany

"Your company still embodies German craftsmanship. That doesn't mean everything has to be perfect! Nor does it need to be! What matters is striving to improve continuously, day after day. You and your colleagues can be proud of what you have achieved. Remaining number one is not easy with so many competitors. Keep it up!"

The Schmidt Family

"We are thrilled by the daily views of nature. Thanks to the open architecture with its large glass fronts, we can constantly discover something new - the seasons become truly tangible for us for the first time. Our little daughter, in particular, is amazed every day by the little things happening in the garden."

The Baumann Family

"It's not the lifestyle but the quality of life that has improved – namely, being able to live in such a HUF house. Additionally, of course, there's the joy of living in a HUF house – falling asleep, waking up, going away and coming back home."

Family Fein/Lamp, Westerwald

“As soon as we began planning our own four walls, we were immediately 'infected' by the 'Huf virus'. This quickly led us to constantly compare all other architectural styles and brands with the timber-framed houses from Hartenfels. The architecture and design are timeless and minimalist, yet still offer the important feel-good factor of a cosy home. We opted for the original. 

It's an invaluable piece of quality of life when the first rays of sunshine stream through the gable windows and skylights early in the morning, filling the rooms with daylight.”

The Renninger-Richter Family, Germany

"When we entered the HUF house on a rainy, dreary day in the spring of 2013, after many viewings of show homes from other manufacturers, we were captivated. It was love at first sight. Our passion for space, light, and design, our search for airiness and spaciousness – everything was fulfilled in that moment. 

We have now been living in our dream home for over three years, and every day we are newly fascinated by the perspectives that present themselves when you are inside the house or looking at it from the outside. We love it every day. We can no longer imagine living in any other house."
