The design concept for the Bacherhof is rooted in the idea of fusing the contemporary with the familiar, reinterpreting the building traditions of the central Eisack Valley—particularly the typology of the Feldthurns farmhouses. The result is a structure that speaks a clear, contemporary architectural language while remaining deeply anchored in its local context.
The façade is defined by untreated, rough-sawn chestnut wood, its grain accentuated and brought to life through a subtle steel-brushing process. The timber weathers with dignity, responding to sun, wind, and rain, and gradually transforms the building into an intrinsic part of the surrounding landscape.
This material coherence continues consistently throughout the interior: floors of wood and natural stone provide a tactilely warm yet robust foundation. The walls are finished with lime and clay plasters—materials that convince not only through their haptic qualities but above all through their building-physical properties. They are able to absorb and release moisture, thereby making a significant contribution to a balanced and healthy indoor climate.
