BERND Gruber

Arlberg Club House

Remained loyal to the place.

 

Historical heritage meets contemporary gastronomy, design, and club culture in Lech.

 

In the popular ski resort of Lech am Arlberg, a place has been created that combines tradition and modernity in a special way. Together with builders Benjamin Schneider and Patrick Krummenacher, and in collaboration with Jürgen Kitzmüller Architektur, a unique ensemble of restaurant, concept store, and club has been created—nestled in a carefully restored historic building with special significance for the region.

Covering around 430 m², this project combines first-class cuisine, an exceptional shopping experience, and the Margo's club concept under one roof—designed with a keen sense of atmosphere, quality, and the cultural context of the location.
Interior design with respect for the existing structure.

“The team at Bernd Gruber has managed to capture the genius loci while also creating a contemporary, elegant atmosphere—we feel immediately welcome here.”

Dark wood, elegant light leather upholstery, subtle lighting—clear design with character.

Individual zones structure the space – clean lines meet a cozy effect.

The historic building was restored with great care and attention to detail and given a modern interpretation. Bernd Gruber was responsible for the overall design, execution, and construction supervision, ensuring that each room captures the spirit of the house and reflects the clients’ clear vision. The design blends Alpine understatement with urban sophistication and a subtly curated concept of materials and lighting.

An organic seating niche in warm metal – staged with light that emphasizes space and material.

Soft velour and mirrors give the staircase a special presence.

The result is a meeting place that combines architecture and emotion—a cultural statement with character, design clarity, and great respect for its natural surroundings.
