Natural building – unadulterated and healthy

During the renovation we tried our best to keep the spirit of our family: Love to nature, environment consciousness and love for traditions.

An old house with excellent foundations

The Dolomitenhof was built at the beginning of the last century. At this time usually only natural building materials were available and so there were used solid wood and stones for the construction of our house. Whenever there was a renovation the original Viennese Art Nouveau style was respected, only the interior of the building was adjusted and modernized.

Walls and floors – natural warmth and insulation

The ceilings are made of wood with cellulose fibres and plaster-cardboard insulation.  This guarantees an absolute noise insulation of each apartment. All building materials are natural, ecologically safe, and chemically neutral and they do not contain any harmful substances.
The outside walls are plastered with lime mortal which supports diffusion in order to obtain optimal thermal distribution during the winter and summer months. The inside of these walls are insulated with cellulose fibre tiles. The inside walls are also made of wood with cellulose fibres and plaster-cardboard insulation and this guarantees an absolute noise insulation of each apartment as mentioned above.
The wooden floors are of natural beech wood; bath room and kitchen tiles are ceramics.

Biological building materials – the feel well factor

The windows are also made of insulating glass and they guarantee excellent heat and noise insulation. The window frames and the insulted entrance doors are again made of wood and treated with chemically harmless water gloss.
The walls are painted with silicate - mineral colours with natural colour pigmentation. They support natural air distribution in rooms and a pleasant humidity.  We chose light colours in order to create a cosy and relaxed ambience.
For decorative reasons we worked with wall paper in the bedrooms and in some other rooms; they are, of course, made of recycled material and only allergy free adhesive was used.
As you can see we have done our best to avoid formaldehyde, dioxins and other harmful building materials. The most important thing in life is heath and we will make sure that our house is an island of health.
