The building consists of three holiday apartments for alternating guests, as well as a central gallery space for modern art. It is located in the small mountain village of Gargellen at an altitude of 1530 m above sea level.

The stones for the facade were collected by hand in the immediate vicinity from sites of natural erosion and come entirely from the Montafon region. The process took several years. The spruce roof shingles are also of local origin.
The architecture references the high-alpine protective structures that one passes on ski tours in the upper Gargellen valley. In these remote locations, the only available building material was the scattered stones, whereas in the valley floor of the Montafon valley, there are no quarries and timber construction traditionally predominates.

The concept of combining mountain tourism and art is aimed at a discerning audience with an affinity for architectural culture and art, as well as an interest in mountain sports, particularly ski touring.

The creation of the gallery space was due to the intention of providing a suitable setting for an extensive collection of works by the Austrian sculptor Herbert Albrecht. The gallery also serves as a reception and social room.

The residential units on the upper floor are designed as alpine lofts with open floor plans. The bathroom sits like a large piece of furniture within the room, and the entire apartment can be experienced as a single space. Large openings in the more than 80 cm thick exterior walls provide impressive views of the landscape.

The materials used are as natural, authentic and breathable as possible. The panelling on the walls and ceiling is rough-sawn spruce, and the floor is rough-sawn ash. The walls were clad with a thick layer of lime plaster to regulate humidity.
