The Viennese settlement movement of the early 1920s has become legendary. This unofficial alternative to the large housing estates was characterized by own initiative, do-it-yourself construction and self-determination.

On the city limits of Bregenz Villa Pohl perched above the foot of the Pfänder, presenting itself in a rather dilapidated shape and no longer adequate for modern living. The old building was not replaced by stacked apartments with similar layouts, but instead four maisonette flats were built in the style of ...

A south sloping site at the edge of the woods with a stunning view: it was a good decision decades ago to build a traditional mansion with a tent roof in this park-like setting. Altered needs and a change of generations called for compaction. Despite the obligatory though considerable distance from the woodlands, a ...

At the lower end of the Pfänder hill, just before the foot of the slope starts to open out flatly, a large garden had remained vacant between the strip of beech woods and a manor house dating back to the early 20th century.

The three-corner property with conservation-worthy rows of trees to the west and north is located between an industrial and a mixed housing zone.
