The Project

Built in 1728, the Hirschenbad inn underwent a complete renovation and was expanded to include a pavilion and a new kitchen. On September 26, 2019, the Hirschenbad restaurant reopened after a renovation phase of just under 18 months. All rooms were thoroughly renovated, brought up to the latest energy-efficiency standards, and refurbished with great attention to detail. In addition, a new outdoor area featuring a beautiful garden and a pavilion was created. The state-of-the-art kitchen is equipped with the latest technology and serves as the foundation for a regional, fresh cuisine.

The Architecture

The new outdoor pavilion is particularly noteworthy. Its oval shape rests solely on fan-shaped supports and features an opening on one side and a large canopy. The cross-laminated timber roof spans an area of approximately 9 m x 7 m. The wood panels were joined together using TS3 technology to form a large surface. The supports were secured at the bottom with glued-in threaded rods. This allowed for construction without joists or supports in the center of the pavilion.
