Florerhof.
The hexagon with a view.

Above Schenna, directly along the historic Waalweg trail, the Florerhof continues its legacy. Now in its third generation, it stands on the site of the former Innerflarerhof — a new house rooted in the history of the place.

Slightly rotated, the building settles naturally into the landscape. The traditional pitched roof is reinterpreted as a hexagonal form, giving the house its distinctive silhouette. The motif reappears throughout the architecture and interiors, creating a continuous design language. Natural stone meets rough plaster, timber meets glass. Mineral textures contrast with wood grain, solid surfaces alongside transparency. The materials draw on the region’s rural building tradition, while the glazed façade opens the house towards the valley.

Inside, untreated spruce, traditional fabrics and soft shades of green set the tone. Light-coloured wood, soft surfaces, echoes of the landscape. The geometry of the roof returns in a stylised form throughout the interiors, subtly connecting the individual spaces. The farm restaurant and holiday apartments are oriented towards the panoramic views. Daylight reaches deep into the interiors, drawing the gaze out across the valley. Sitting together, finding peace, looking out over the valley. A house that strikes a balance between hospitality and seclusion.
