The natural building style at the Lüsnerhof
Natural materials, a pleasant indoor climate and timeless design
The Lüsnerhof combines contemporary architecture with the original beauty and strength of the Dolomites. For the construction of the hotel, we chose Dolomite stone that is millions of years old, from the Puez-Geisler Nature Park, along with local Swiss stone pine and larch wood from the forests around Lüsen. These natural materials echo the elemental strength of the earth and create an authentic Alpine atmosphere in which you feel sheltered, find your calm and sleep soundly.
The use of reclaimed wood and stone from the historic Gargitthof further deepens the connection between nature, history and the house itself. For generations, it was home to the Ragginer dynasty, whose work in natural healing was shaped by herbs and traditional therapeutic knowledge passed down over time. Today, that special energy lives on in Lüsnerhof. Healthy, soothing indoor comfort is also created by the wall heating behind the clay walls: its gentle radiant warmth regulates humidity, absorbs pollutants and creates a living atmosphere that feels naturally balanced.
A proven building style
with the involvement of interior designer Franzi Hinteregger
Daughter Franzi played a key role in the latest projects built in our natural building style. Here she can express her passion and calling and, together with her dad Franz, write the next chapter in the story of the Lüsnerhof:
“My studies gave me the tools – but it was only here, in the place where I grew up, that I learned how spaces truly need to feel. At Lüsnerhof, I sense how architecture, nature and people speak to one another, and how something enduring emerges from that dialogue. To him, every historic piece has a story – and usually a new place right away. Our discussions can be long at times, but that is exactly what makes them so special: allowing something to grow from old and new together, something that feels like home.”
