timeless. proven. safe. revolutionary.
A patented arch concept for everyone who thinks differently – whether client, architect or individualist. We deliver the proven system, you shape your space: for living and far beyond.
The BOGENHAUS combines the primal security of a massive vault with light-flooded modernity. Its organic, flowing form conveys an immediate sense of shelter – an architectural retreat where the hectic everyday simply stays outside. Protective as a dome, bright and light as a loft.
Where classic Bauhaus style ends at corners and edges, the BOGENHAUS opens up the space. With an impressive ceiling height of up to 4.25 metres, it breathes pure generosity – entirely without confining edges. This open, organic sense of space frees the mind and lifts your quality of life to a whole new level.
An ingenious igloo principle: around 60 centimetres of soil on the roof make thick, artificial insulation layers unnecessary. This massive natural layer shields against the heat in summer and keeps the warmth inside in winter. The base climate regulates itself entirely on its own – in tune with the position of the sun and the respective season.
The structural marvel of the vault carries itself. This is how the Romans already built structures for eternity. For you this means: no disruptive load-bearing interior walls. You enjoy the barrier-free expanse of a bungalow combined with the grandeur of a villa. Your floor plan follows your life 100 % – not the other way round.
I didn't want to build a house, but a habitable work of art – one that protects us uncompromisingly and lets us breathe at the same time.
Organic architecture has fascinated me for decades. On Lanzarote, in the buildings of César Manrique, I felt what happens when a house respects the topography instead of conquering it. It is the same fascination that drove artists like Gaudí or Hundertwasser: the conviction that form may be alive and soulful – no grid, no box.
With the BOGENHAUS I have realised this vision. It follows nature's age-old, indestructible structural principle: the curve. In it, Yin and Yang come together – the soft and the load-bearing, the flowing and the solid – a space in which energy can flow freely in the spirit of Feng Shui.
It is far more than living space. It is a statement, a way of life. Something you don't explain – something you have to experience.

As seen in
With every BOGENHAUS we celebrate an artful interplay of form and function, forged in respectful dialogue with the earth and its natural dynamics.
The combination of arch form and massive earth covering (with an enormous load capacity of 4 t/sqm) creates an indoor climate that puts conventional buildings in the shade. In hot summers the green roof noticeably reduces the heat and ensures pleasant humidity – at the energy level of the most modern ultra-low-energy houses.
In times of increasing weather extremes, the BOGENHAUS offers outstanding safety. Its aerodynamic, flat form breaks every storm and withstands gale-force gusts as well as extreme hail. Thanks to the enormous stability of the vault, it is exceptionally resilient even against earthquakes. Your home stands as firm as a rock in the surf.
Exclusive design need not be incalculable. With our system arches and many years of experience, we combine proven safety with speed. The shell construction costs are comparable to those of a conventionally built standard house – with a significantly shorter construction time and greatly reduced roofing work.
Almost invisible from a bird's-eye view: the patented design merges completely with the landscape and gives you a private refuge full of discretion. An award-winning architectural masterpiece that creates not just living space but a way of life – as unmistakable as a signature. A living space that brings pure joy to every moment of life.

A house full of openness and well-being
“We have been living in our Bogenhaus since 25 November 2023 – and we feel completely at home. It radiates exactly the openness and well-being that we already felt during our first visit to Erich's Bogenhaus – and which convinced us back then. A heartfelt thank you for the great support during the planning phase and with all our questions.”
