The concept realized for this hotel breathed new life into Lasserhaus, a 15th century aristocratic residence in the heart of Brixen, Northern Italy. Commissioned by the owner family, the first two floors of the mansion have been transformed into a 4-star superior boutique Art Hotel with ten rooms with an intimate and sophisticated atmosphere, in which the Faller family's collection of classical paintings meets works by contemporary artists, thus making the space a new point of interest for the community. Our project respectfully manages the traditional soul of this ancient building and enrich it with contemporary languages and materials. Lasserhaus has, in this way, become a small yet important new part of the city's urban life and its propensity for hospitality.

The project reflects the peculiarities of the episcopal city of Brixen, which blends a medieval tradition and atmosphere with avantgarde cultural offerings. It was not just a matter of restoring a fifteenth-century building that was fully listed by the Superintendency, but of giving it a new life and making it a point of interest for locals. Also by using art, integrating the family's collection of classical paintings with new contemporary works, thanks to two curators: Stefanie Prieth, for the contemporary art works, and Rose Bourdon, for the family collection. These artistic interventions are part of cultural activity that branch out on several levels, from artist residencies to collaboration with other cultural institutions.
During the construction phase, priority was given to the local supply chain utilizing skilled local artisans like carpenters, blacksmiths, electricians, painters, restorers. We have carefully selected high-quality materials sourced within the region, such as ancient larch and beech wood. Furthermore the structure relates to the district heating of municipal services and receives 100 per cent green energy.
Located in Brixen’s historic Stufels district, the 15th-century Lasserhaus blends heritage with contemporary art and design. The motto, "Expect the best," sets the tone for the guest experience, promising great attention to detail. This spirit drove the restoration of the residence into a 4-star superior arthotel with 10 refined rooms, classical and modern art, and a vibrant cultural program with exhibitions and artist residencies.
