Within the South Tyrolean city of Lana, an extended, layered constructing has been re-established a contemporary place to assemble. 1477 Reichhalter traces its origins again to the late fifteenth century, when it started as a mill. Over the centuries it moved between makes use of—a espresso home, a butcher’s store with an inn—earlier than its most up-to-date reinvention in 2018 as a small lodge with eight rooms, a restaurant, and a restaurant.
Relatively than staging a model of Alpine custom, the venture returns to the concept of the Gausthaus as a social anchor—casual, civic, and accessible. The bottom flooring was expanded to incorporate two Gaststuben (residing areas) and an espresso bar that opens on to the road. The renovation framework was overseen by architect Zeno Bampi, with interiors by Christina Biasi von Berg, co-founder of native agency Biquadra. Their collaboration is taken into account and exact. The language is Alpine with out cliché: finishes are muted and furnishings attracts from a large arc of European historical past, from Nineteenth-century to mid-Twentieth-century antiques and classic finds. Nothing feels imported for impact.
The result’s a contemporary mountain lodge that feels lived-in from the outset—a return to the glory of an area inn as shared inside, open to native and traveller alike, and knowledgeable by custom.
