Ernas Haus | Austria | Ludescher + Lutz Architekten

Ernas Haus offers comfortable co-living for students looking to live in a small space that is close by to the University of Applied Sciences, whilst getting to know the area and its people. Students can experience the Winder family’s lifestyle firsthand and also enjoy the high-quality produce from the Winderhof farm.

Location and surrounding area: Winderhof is located in the district of Oberdorf, which is arguably the oldest part of Dornbirn. The surrounding area is dominated by rural buildings and villas once belonging to textile industrialists, while many plots have been more intensely developed through the addition of small residential blocks in recent years. The district has a large number – if not an excess – of public roads, some of which bear heavy traffic loads. Many people pass through the district on their way to the Bregenz Forest or Arlberg. The same can be said for Sebastianstraße, the road where our project is located.
