Architecture Hochbau-Atelier

The slopes around Kitzbühel are home to the chamois, a native goat-antelope species that roams the jagged terrain.

The iconic creature is central to Ursula Schelle-Müller’s design concept, acting as a conduit between contemporary minimalist lines and classic Alpine textures. In the lobby, sculpted wooden lampshades and bucket-shaped leather armchairs share space with a reception desk handcrafted by a local cabinetmaker. The gardens blur the boundaries between mountains and a church-speckled urban landscape.

Interior design Uschi Schelle-Müller

While co-owner Uschi Schelle-Müller chose modern furnishing, she used local materials to create an authentic Tyrolean feel.

Each room is an individual expression of this authenticity. The paneling on the walls and the worn larch floorboards are salvaged from old cabins and lodges; the loden blankets, stag antlers, and leather for the sleek chairs are regionally produced.
