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.
