The interior design here unites alpine tradition and rustic charm in a simple, modern form. It provides a harmonious environment for relaxation after a day in the mountains or simply for enjoying a meal in an exceptionally designed interior.
The traditional guesthouse Bärnstatt is nestled in the beautiful natural landscape of the Wilder Kaiser, surrounded by tranquil and sunny mountain scenery. For decades, it served as an example of alpine hospitality. A contemporary renovation and refurbishment of the restaurant area became necessary.
The objective was to create an interior design that harmoniously blends modern elegance with traditional alpine elements. Furthermore, the seating capacity was not to be reduced. It was also essential to enhance operational workflows and functionality. Additionally, a spacious buffet area needed to be integrated.
The use of natural wood in the furnishings and on the walls creates a warm and inviting atmosphere that seamlessly integrates with the surrounding mountain landscape. The robust, yet aesthetically appealing wood imparts a rustic character to the space, while the clean lines and modern forms of the furniture and decorative elements convey contemporary elegance.
