Modification and Expansion Hotel Kirchenwirt in Strobl

In the heart of Strobl am Wolfgangsee, the traditional Hotel Kirchenwirt is located. To meet the needs of a modern town hotel, some rooms on the first and second floors were modified. As part of this, the roof of the southeast part of the building was raised, and a wellness area was integrated. The design aimed to capture the magnificent views of the lake and mountains while seamlessly integrating with the existing structure of Strobl. In addition to the formal considerations, the structural challenge was significant due to the building’s existing condition.

By combining steel and wood frames, it was possible to span the entire width of the building without columns. This construction method also allowed for a very flexible arrangement of the rooms on the top level.
