The renovated Huus Löwen with its 24 rooms shows how old traditions can be carefully transformed into the present day. The external appearance, which consists of the historical preserved eastern part and the new annexe replacement building to the west, is clearly shown as a new and old building. The connecting elements such as the plinth storey and the colour scheme allow the façade to flow into one another and form an ensemble. The renovated existing building clad in typical regional shingles and the new building wrapped in vertical battens together create a colourful exterior and characterise the Gonten townscape. "Both buildings are presented in the same shades of ochre and green, although the dominant colour of the new façade on the west building changes depending on the viewing angle, creating a multifaceted interplay of colours. However, this deliberate interplay of colours in the building envelope is not a new invention, but rather a typical design feature of the region that serves to visually divide the main and annexe buildings.

The new west wing was built in the same solid timber construction method as the historical preserved main building. The “Strickbau” construction characterises decisively the appearance of the rooms. The special feature of this construction method lies in the corner joints of the solid timber beams, which are interlocking.
The harmonious furnishing concept picks up on the themes of 1878 in the historical part, with the original panelling being revitalised and the old ceilings and floors being retained. Subtle colours and dark accents were used in the new building. Both parts of the building are linked by details such as the decorations in the style of St. Gallen lace, the furniture and the colour scheme of the bathrooms.
