Grow Up in Construction Site

Mr. Frey was born in an architect family in Freiburg, Germany, in 1960. 

His grandfather and father both are architects, and the family have their own forest land. Frey family inherited ancestral carpentry built houses, furniture by using forest resources. Except DIY daily goods, they also are good at wood carving. Perhaps because of living close to nature, the concept of sustainable development in early years already has rooted in Frey family.

As an architect, Mr. Wolfgang Frey's grandfather well know what kind of architecture is best suited to the local nature environment, and this kind of knowledge also inherited by Mr. Wolfgang Frey's father, Mr. Friedrich Frey who found the architects’office in 1959.  He made a solar energy equipment as well as a heating pump, achieved the initial idea of introducing solar energy into rooms.
