Perfectly cast in formwork

Kitzbühel | issue 52 | Winter 2022

A house conceived like a designer collection – finished and refined with the finest materials, exquisite in appearance, divinely comfortable to put on. A project which bears the unmistakable signature of Holzbau Maier.

The family-run enterprise has proven for 55 years what wooden building arts carried out to perfection really means, and precisely that is what counted as top priority in this private home. Let’s start out with the exterior: the upper floor built with nogging pieces, the roof framework and gray-glass panelled balcony are all from the masterful hands of Holzbau Maier, as is the entire exterior shuttering and formwork. This was finished in sun-scorched old lumber with loving care and a great attentiveness to detail. Utterly unique and immensely time-consuming: the design followed up with a variety of wide boards, lending the facade an absolutely stunning structural quality.

Similar to the exterior framework, in the interior there is elaborately conceived and finished panelling of walls and ceilings of oaken boards in diverse widths – this is the hallmark design element of the whole house. And what fits the overall concept like a glove? The hardwood floors and interior doors of finest oak. And not to be overlooked: the stair stringer with glass balustrades and oaken handrails.

In order to carry out a construction project at this degree of sophistication, Holzbau Maier has two keys to success: first, teamwork out of passion for the essential building material, wood. A love which has been lived to the fullest by Holzbau Maier for decades. And second, partners you can depend on and who share the selfsame standards for quality that you profess yourself. In this case, planning and execution of the construction work was performed by Mika Projektmanagement GmbH.
