Refreshment of a traditional house
The Tannahof in Au was originally a traditional farmhouse that was converted into a small hotel in the 1970s. Increased guest demands required a structural refreshment in 2016.
We replaced the side extension from the 1970s with a single-storey pavilion which now houses the reception and bar as well as the restaurant. The pavilion now features a reception and bar as well as a ski cellar in the basement. At the rear of the historic front building, a modern room wing was added in place of the stable. All in all, a contemporary programme which makes the existing “Bregenzer Wälderhaus" indispensable.
In keeping with a "new tradition", the new buildings were constructed in timber and built by local companies. The applicable building regulations stipulated 25 per cent higher rooms, floor and roof structures, linked to the old building without barriers. The new staircase with lift leads to an external entrance at ground level.

The pavilion now features a reception and bar as well as a ski cellar in the basement.


The new building houses four double rooms, two junior suites and a flat on the top floor in typical forest style. A wellness area with a sheltered courtyard in the basement complements the rooms in the old building.
