GENUSSWELTEN
The Döllerer Genusswelten project by Architect & Friends is a comprehensive transformation and expansion of an existing hospitality complex in Golling, evolving from a historic butcher shop dating back to 1909 into a multifaceted destination combining hotel, restaurant, Wirtshaus and delicatessen.
The architectural strategy is rooted in intervention within the existing fabric, addressing the limitations of the dense, inward-facing building typology. A key design move was the demolition of an adjacent structure to open the building southwards, introducing natural light and greenery - previously absent - into the core of the complex.
A new extension reorganizes the ground floor into a centralized spatial system, where reception, restaurant, bar, kitchen and Wirtshaus are arranged around a central hall. This layout creates a fluid sequence of spaces, balancing open social areas with more intimate zones, while a garden and terrace establish a strong connection between interior and landscape.
The project combines renovation and new construction, including upgraded guestrooms, newly added junior suites and a spa. Materially, it merges local alpine craftsmanship with contemporary design, using a palette that reflects regional identity while introducing a refined, modern atmosphere.
Overall, the design establishes a cohesive spatial narrative that reinterprets alpine tradition - centering on hospitality, gathering, and atmosphere - while providing a contemporary stage for the Döllerer family's culinary concept of “Alpine Cuisine“.
„I enjoy working more than ever in this new, incredibly creative atmosphere. I wanted a stage for my Alpine Cuisine and a makeover of our hotel where tradition and future coalesce.”
