This very special and demanding project involves the general renovation and conversion of two listed buildings, that form an open courtyard situation. While the five-story building has a steep gable roof, the three-story structure is equipped with a slightly sloping gable roof. The oldest parts of the ensemble are around 500 years old. In keeping with this long period of time, the history of both monuments is eventful. They were used both as an estate and as an inn. Most recently they functioned as a nursing home for the city of Bregenz. Then they stood empty for a while - in a desolate condition.

A new chapter was opened when developer Hinteregger acquired both buildings. The goal was to convert the complex into a home of more than 20 high-quality condominiums. The challenge was to overcome the need to integrate open spaces such as balconies or loggias into the old building structure without encountering objections from the monument office. The addition of a single-story underground car park under the park-like courtyard proved to be a good decision. The redesign of the two buildings was technically demanding and time-consuming. An elevator was created in the south-facing building . In the basement the planners placed a steel and wooden walkway so the beautiful historical vaults can be admired.
