Features

New build with traditional references

The southern new build was designed with Appenzell building tradition in mind. The vertical structuring of the façade with delicate wooden slats and the canopy boards echoes the traditional timber structures of Appenzell farmhouses and gives the new build an authentic local character.

Particularly noteworthy are the sunny south-facing balconies and the generous terrace areas that flow into nature. They offer wonderful views of the surrounding landscape and create private retreats in the greenery.

Appenzell building tradition meets modern architecture

This property combines history and contemporary living in an especially stylish way. The original, carefully restored Appenzell part of the house brings traditional character and regional identity to the project. With great attention to detail, the farmhouse has been refurbished so that its historic presence is preserved.

The southern part of the building complements the property with a modern new build whose design language is clear and understated – yet it subtly incorporates and reinterprets the essential elements of Appenzell building culture. The result is a harmonious connection between old and new, tradition and innovation.
