Holiday home Haus Kien­zer­leweg

Bad Kohlgrub, Germany’s highest moorland spa, lies in the Ammergau Alps Nature Park, at the foot of the Hörnle. Set amidst Alpine pan­oramas and mountain pine high-moor spas, Bavarian flair and a modern life­style, the Kien­zer­leweg holiday home offers a holiday for the senses. With its purist, tim­eless design lan­guage and con­sistent use of wood, it is a suc­cessful example of how con­tem­porary archi­tecture and Alpine tra­dition fit tog­ether quite natu­rally.

The building structure is con­s­tructed in solid timber from the top of the basement upwards and, with its façade of unt­reated wooden slats, blends into the topo­graphy and village scenery. A tribute to regional building tra­di­tions – yet without nost­algia, but with a fresh signature. No colourful gera­niums, no mural pain­tings, no orna­ments. Just pure form and mate­riality. An aes­thetic that con­tinues inside. Here, too, there are neither pic­tures on the walls nor a fire­place or farm­house cup­board to disrupt the flow. The rooms, with their oiled oak floors, unt­reated solid timber walls and white walls, feel har­mo­nious. All this is com­bined with exposed con­crete, mini­malist fur­nis­hings and hand­crafted details.

In addition to the phy­sical con­nection with nature, generous south-facing windows open the house up to the sur­rounding land­scape. The posi­tioning and height of the windows have been carefully chosen to ensure that the view always takes in the beauty of the Ammergau Alps. The lighting design has been tailored to the spe­cific layout of each room and enhances the calm, relaxed atmo­sphere.

The large living area on the ground floor com­prises an open-plan kitchen and a living and dining room, sepa­rated by a ‘wall cup­board’ that serves as a piece of fur­niture in the kitchen. Sleeping accom­mo­dation is pro­vided either on the upper floor or in the basement, each with two double bed­rooms. Ups­tairs, there is also a small, con­tem­plative reading room with a view. To extend the living space, the ground floor opens directly onto the south-facing terrace or into the garden – with unob­s­tructed views of the Ammergau Alps.
