ROHO - Holzbau Maier builds the pond lodges for the Ferner Rosenhof

A retreat between architecture, mindfulness and nature

In the middle of the greenery, where the view glides over a quiet swimming pond and the scent of old wood envelops the senses, a small architectural composition rises up - the ROHO pond lodges .

Its shape is no coincidence: the octagon , a symbol of perfection since ancient times, forms the geometric and spiritual basis of the project. Like a stylized rose in nature, which in Christianity is a symbol of new creation and mindfulness, the architecture here stands for a return to the essential, the simple, the genuine.

From the initial idea to the design and submission planning through to the execution of the timber construction and interior fittings, this project was completed by Holzbau Maier . The result: a harmonious interplay of traditional craftsmanship, timeless aesthetics and a deep connection to nature.

The exterior walls in timber frame construction, with reclaimed wood cladding , meet white plaster surfaces and finely covered fabric panels on the inside. The folded wooden roof truss , inspired by the shape of a water lily , lends the interior a calm, almost meditative atmosphere - supported by the warm look of sunburnt old wood .

Generous window surfaces with anthracite-colored frames open up the room to nature and allow light and landscape to become part of the interior. The terraces in larch wood , the oak flooring laid in an octagonal shape , as well as individually crafted furniture made of natural lacquered oak tell of quality, durability and attention to detail.

Whether the fabric-covered wall panel in the living area, the simple washbasin, the pleasant earthy tones and light nuances or the cupboards made in an oak-fabric combination - every element follows the credo of the house: Relaxed - like in nature, Kommod - like at Mama Achtsam - like the game, Stoansteirisch - like the kernel oil.

The ROHO Teichlodges are more than just guest suites - they are a retreat for mind and soul - a quiet homage to the beauty of simplicity.
