P<\/span>PAG architects<\/a> unveil 'Steirereck am Pogusch', an offshoot of the Viennese restaurant 'Steirereck', which has been among the world's top gastronomic establishments for many decades. The Pogusch is a pass, 1059m in height, through the Austrian Alps, and Steirereck am Pogusch sits at the top of the pass, surrounded by its own farmland.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In addressing a conversion and extension project, gourmet chef Heinz Reitbauer and his wife Birgit wanted to show how innovative and sustainable a gastronomic business can be. The challenge was to blend a situation characterized by nature with a highly sophisticated, contemporary catering business to ensure a harmonious future. Through various interventions, the pre-existing buildings and additions form a village ensemble on the scale of rural development in the mountain landscape.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Eye-catchers in the surroundings<\/h3>\r\n

For the most part, the striking new buildings are built into the hillside, and they blend in as eye-catchers in the surroundings of nature and the traditional built environment. The pre-existing buildings \u2013 a kitchen, lodging, a stone house, and a wooden house, along with agriculture \u2013 were complemented by relevant new ones. The new buildings encompass extensive new catering areas including the 'Salettl' for fine dining, the fire kitchen (bar, grill, steam counter, farm store, regulars' table), the distillery, kitchens with extensive preparation- and staff-areas, a kitchen garden in a small glass house, special staff and guest accommodations, and an extension of visible and invisible infrastructure.<\/p>\r\n\n\t\t
