Description

Half a millennium of home – carefully reworked

The Hofstätte Hintergass 35/37 is part of the historic core of Vaduz. This listed vintner’s homestead has been carefully restored and prepared for future use, with domestic comfort and cultural offerings at the heart of the concept. Two independent residential units – each with a kitchen, bathroom, living room, bedroom and an attic space – are now available for holidays in a historic monument. These units can be used separately or combined. The historically evolved spatial structure was gently reestablished, later additions were removed, and original features such as plank walls, strap flooring and plaster surfaces were uncovered, restored and sensitively complemented with contemporary elements. Windows and wood panelling were reconstructed in a handcrafted manner according to historical models. The former barn has been transformed into an atmospheric cultural space: lighting, materiality and interior topography offer a unique spatial experience for exhibitions, readings and small concerts. A new connection to the wine cellar further enhances its usability. The adjacent educational vineyard, a pergola and the pathways through the ensemble create high-quality outdoor spaces with strong visual connections to the cultural landscape. In this way, a place of identity emerges at the intersection of history and the present – a house for living and cultural exchange.
