Austria’s most westerly state, Vorarlberg, is a pure delight for architecture aficionados, especially those who love timber. This forested region between Lake Constance and the high mountains has become a top architectural destination since the 1960s. Its high density of outstanding timber-framed buildings ranges from public buildings to houses and shops, with a special mention for the unique bus shelters commissioned from international architects by the Krumbach local authority.
Tradition and modernity are harmoniously combined here, with old farmhouses taking their place comfortably alongside innovative contemporary buildings that seamlessly combine timber with glass or concrete. The skilled use of timber as a building material by experienced craftsmen provides the perfect link between old and new buildings. The variety of the timber-framed buildings and the masterful craftsmanship are also evident in the holiday homes we are delighted to present to you today.
