Gasthaus Adler/ Hotel Adler
The Gasthaus Adler was built in 1756 then rebuilt in 1865. In the 60s and 70s the hotel and restaurant underwent constant renovation and a lot of this work subsequently deteriorated.
The new owner wanted a complete change making it possible to give the building a new, independent character both in the layout organisation and in the interior design.

Wohnanlage Hofsteigstrasse / Apartment block Hofsteigstrasse
The villages in the Rhine Valley are traditionally linear and made of old timber farmhouses.
The Wolfurt Hofsteigstraße is still like this. The old road and several old farmhouses on this street are still preserved. The materialisation required by these surroundings has lifted the housing complex out of the ordinary.
The system is proof that there are creative possibilities despite the low construction costs.

Einfamilienhaus K / Single Family Home K
From 1998, Home K is more than what one first expects. The architectural expression of the building is at first glance quite unusual and has nothing in common with the neighbouring traditional gable roofed houses. On closer inspection, however, parallels arise: the house respects the terrain, which was also the case with the historic buildings. The house is very simple in its architectural language and follows clear constructive principles.

"Schools are important buildings in the development of a human being. Here, a young person learns how spaces, materials, and architecturally created moods influence on a person’s health. As an architect one bears responsibility for the fact that the school building contributes to the well-being of its users and thus indirectly to learning success." Univ.-Prof. Arch.

Bürozentrale Stallinger / Head Office of Stallinger
The architecture was designed using the very minimum variation in building materials, while employing an optimal amount of solid timber.
The objective was to build a very simple structure with minimal wall assembly, while maximising the heat storage capacity of the timber structure and improving the spatial and functional qualities of the building.

From every seat, the view of the mountains should be perfect. This led to a design in which the side rooms are located towards the mountain and the guest rooms are arranged in a band along the valley side, therefore almost every table is placed by a window.

Building directly on the mountain top is a tricky task in terms of design. A building can hardly compete with the rocky summit and the breath-taking view, and in terms of design expression, the balance between alpine-kitchen and fashionable modern design style had to be found.

"Architekten Hermann Kaufmann are interested in two main themes: sustainable construction and timber buildings. They call their approach to architecture ‘working in the spirit of the region’, or looking for answers while honouring the past. It is all about the skills and technologies that we have today, while retaining the essence of the region in which the building resides."

On the facades facing the village only damaged areas were repaired – mainly with reclaimed timbers found in the attic. The patches are barely visible. The windows were renovated and partially renewed. On the northern and western facades, the frame work had to be replaced with upright planks; the brick pedestal was still well preserved.

"It is not self-evident that such “functional buildings” are built with the inclusion of an architectural partner. The architect was involved in the early stages of the decision-making process, which involved the overall location and position of the buildings.
