His visionary design for the Werkraumhaus is based on two basic ideas: on the one hand, the building serves as a meeting place. On the other hand, it is a large showcase for the culture of craftsmanship in the Bregenzerwald. This idea finds expression in a protruding roof made from wood and a façade made from glass. There is no distinction between inside and outside – the landscape flows through the building. The Werkraum exhibition in winter and spring presents work from the Werkraum workshops. Throughout the year, developers, architects and those interested in building and living environments can see and learn personally about the range of services offered by the craftspeople networked in the Werkraum. An open and flexible hall of 700 m² offers room for exhibitions, events, a shop and a restaurant.

Werkraumhaus
Concept: FUNKA, Lingenau
The current Werkraumschau presents diverse interpretations of the topic of hospitality by the trades members of the Werkraum Bregenzerwald. Visitors are invited not only to look at the tools for hospitality but also to explore the Werkraumhaus as guests. The various atmospheres of a hotel’s different rooms – from public to intimate – form the backdrop to this exploration. The Werkraumschau explores the different dimensions of good hospitality while displaying the objects created by the Werkraum trades businesses. The Werkraum’s hotel partners are presenting bespoke solutions that have been realised in their buildings. A spacious, freely accessible entrée where drinks and food are served – as well as hospitable furniture and objects by the members of the Werkraum – invite visitors to take a seat, chat, use the furniture and spend some time there, in short: to be a guest.
