Architecture at the Moar Gut
Less is moar.
True luxury is not expressed in abundance, but in the conscious decision to focus on what truly matters. Where old meets new. Where nature and progress exist in harmony. And where vision and creativity shape spaces that are more than mere architecture.
Our construction approach respects the existing structures, develops them further and translates them into a contemporary architectural language. Materials tell stories, clean lines create calm, and carefully considered details give every project its own character. In this way, architecture becomes a dialogue between past and future – minimal, honest and sustainable.
The idea is to reinterpret the Moar Gut’s established structural typology so that various buildings form a distinctive, car-free ensemble with a village character. Confident in their placement, yet with understated elegance. In their appearance, the focus was placed on high-quality materials, artisan details and a strong connection to the surrounding natural landscape.

Sustainable construction meets timeless design.
With every new build and every renovation we rely on sustainable materials, local craftsmanship and energy-efficient technology. Timber from local forests, natural materials in the nature suites such as loden and stone, and a carefully considered energy concept create a healthy indoor climate for young and old.

It is important to us that agriculture is continued in harmony with nature.
Our buildings blend harmoniously into the landscape – preserving open views of forests, meadows and mountains and allowing nature to retain her beauty. Our architect Tom Lechner pays particular attention to ensuring that nature can be felt indoors and that every room offers an unobstructed view outside.
