House Schnifis is centrally located in Walgau, Vorarlberg in front of the Großes Walsertal with a view of the Rätikon mountain range. This region is characterized by agricultural buildings, from which the House Schnifis has copied some elements: the clear simple volume, the solid base with lime plaster, the open horizontal laths to the west, the simple sliding doors, the wooden construction and the central kitchen.
