Blending into the peaceful Alpine landscape, the architecture integrates with the mountains to produce a forward-thinking hotel design that respects tradition and captures the spirit of its location. The new 5-star Falkensteiner Hotel Montafon, with a focus on families and sustainability, has opened its doors to the public. Nestled among the forests and peaks of a protected area of the Montafon, a valley in the Austrian state of Vorarlberg, it is the perfect holiday destination for enjoying the outdoors. While the architectural and landscape project was designed by Snøhetta Studio Innsbruck, the interior architecture and decoration are entirely down to the creative vision of Milanese studio Vudafieri-Saverino Partners.
In the far north of the Bregenzerwald lies the small community of Sulzberg on the ridge of the same-named mountain. We built a house on a steep slope in the middle of a densely built-up residential area, which makes perfect use of the limited plot of land. Due to the extreme slope, we have divided the spaces into three floors. You enter the house on the street side on the top level via a wide footbridge. Here you will find the garage, a small guest room and the spacious, open living room. Designed with maximum transparency and openness, it is only structured by the free-standing kitchen unit. The entire south front is glazed and, together with the terrace in front, celebrates the fantastic view over the Bregenzerwald to the high Vorarlberg mountains. The wide cantilevered roof panel provides protection from the weather and excessive sunlight.
The main aim of the design and the client’s request was a future-oriented handling of materials and a building that was integrated into the environment.
A generous green roof as a cut-out and folded landscape forms the largest space-forming element of the house. The lightweight timber construction with a ventilated metal facade and large glass elements form the remaining outer skin surfaces. The intersection of the massive terrace plateau with the edge of the terrain forms only a partial adaptation to the topography, which is why the building stands out from the terrain on the north / west side.

The residential project “City Park Lehen” is located on one of the main roads into Salzburg.
The unique characteristic of the location is the interaction of a diverse range of structures. Lending itself to vast number visitors, passers-by, and residents, the adjacent Ignaz-Harrer-Straße is a highly frequented urban core zone. On the other side of the property is a quiet park, used as a recreation area for the entire neighborhood. In addition, the site marks the boundary between large-scale block developments and loose, heterogeneous settlement structures.
The new 5 star Falkensteiner Hotel Montafon will open on 16 December 2022. It is located in a protected area of Montafon, an Alpine valley in the Austrian state of Vorarlberg gently nestled between forests and mountains. The Norwegian firm Snøhetta has designed the structures and the exterior architecture, while the interior design and design concept was interpreted by Milan-based firm Vudafieri-Saverino Partners.
A city planning competition provided the guideline for an exposed main body with different heights and widths located at the entrance to Village im Dritten in the center of Vienna, Austria.
Sensitive handling of less is more is required to have the building appear simple, yet appealing and interesting.
On the southern foothills of the Wienerwald lies this home of a young family on the outskirts of Perchtoldsdorf. The elongated, two-storey structure nestles into the terrain and runs from south to north up the gentle hill.
Towards the street, the building presents itself as a two-part narrow structure. The upper floor with wooden cladding sits on the solid-looking base. The wooden structure is extended by cantilevers to the north and south, and the split-level structure of the interior spaces can already be seen from the outside.
The home with peculiarities. A single family house in the Vienna Woods of Austria. The house – as idiosyncratic as the people who live in it. The way to the house leads through a dreamy forest with thirty meter high trunks. In this place, the metropolis of Vienna seems far away, but in reality you can be in the center in thirty minutes.
ATP Innsbruck designed a new operating facility with production in Pians, from which Markus Handl Beteiligungs GmbH will supply upscale restaurants and hotels across Tyrol and Vorarlberg. One highlight of the project is the innovative use of the material wood, which the design team has interpreted in both a traditional (façade) and a modern (timber slab) manner.
On the eastern outskirts of Tulln, a spacious residential building is concealed behind a closed façade. With access from the street in the north, the narrow structure extends from north to south.
On the street side, the ground floor made of individual concrete blocks and the wooden structure above it present themselves as two clearly separated volumes. The ground-level blocks are offset from each other in such a way that on the street side an incised entrance area and on the garden side an incised loggia are created. In between, a generous but differentiated living space is created. Towards the south, the building opens up more and more and is finally oriented completely towards the garden.
