In the heart of the Erzgebirge Nature Park on a slope in Schöneck - the ‘balcony of the Vogtland’ - a new youth hostel is being built.
In the rural area with a loose structure of residential buildings, a base will be formed from the hillside location to accommodate the necessary communal and functional areas such as the foyer with reception, cafeteria and dining hall as well as various rooms for larger and smaller groups.
Three two-storey guest houses will be built on this base, which will relate to the surrounding building structure in terms of proportions, design and materials, thus integrating themselves into the site.

These residential buildings contain a balanced range of two- to four-bed rooms - 130 beds in total - and panoramic loggias designed as communal areas that invite guests to enjoy the view of the landscape. Traditional elements are thus adapted and transformed into a contemporary architectural language.
Individual worlds of colour are created for the places of retreat and community, giving this special place its very own identity.
