Biorefugium theiner’s garten in South Tyrol was built according to strict building biology guidelines. Throughout the house, natural building materials are processed, which do not release any harmful substances into the environment. Wood plays the most important role, because the hotel was built in the unique holzius solid wood construction method. The holzius company, based in South Tyrol, builds without metal or glue and uses wood only from sustainably managed forests.
The Blasla Hof in South Tyrol was also built in collaboration with holzius. In this project, the focus was particularly on regionality. It was important to the operators of the Blasla Hof that the wood only comes from their own surrounding forests and that it is cut during the full moon as well as processed themselves.
