vacation house
Originally built in the 1930‘s, this timber hut is tucked away in the eastern Alps. While retaining the main structure, we extended and remodeled it, making full use of the timber framework. Numerous incisions into the building’s skin now afford spectacular views of the surrounding mountains. By removing most interior walls, the ground floor was converted into a fine-tuned open loft. The addition of a deck running all around more than doubles the usable area on warm days. The attic was turned into two cosy bedrooms.
Larch is the material of all external surfaces as it will weather gracefully, slowly fading to grey.
