Where architecture, art, and alpine serenity meet

Tucked away in the heart of Brixen – between alpine charm and urban edge – lies Badhaus, a striking architectural retreat that fuses heritage and modernity in bold, elegant ways. Built on the site of a former public bathhouse, the hotel blends old and new with a design that is sculptural, thoughtful, and full of light.

Designed by renowned architecture firm bergmeisterwolf, two distinct structures form the architectural core of the hotel, crafted from just four carefully selected materials: clay bricks, copper, fluted glass, and steel. Exposed concrete is used sparingly, appearing only in the bar interior and guest rooms, where it adds a clean, contemporary contrast.

The new hotel was constructed on historic ground – once home to the city’s public bathhouse. The hotel represents a completely new architectural creation. Surrounded by historic buildings, it positions itself with quiet confidence in its contextual setting, respecting the character of the neighborhood while adding a bold, modern presence.

The two towers are connected by open-air walkways, which also serve as access to the rooms – a design gesture that reflects transparency, lightness, and thoughtful spatial flow.

The Rooms

The 21 rooms – including 4 suites and 17 double rooms – are designed with understated elegance and a natural material palette. Local ash wood, aqua-green quartzite stone, and fine Italian linen create a warm, tactile atmosphere that blends simplicity with sophistication.

A small rooftop terrace on the fourth floor, nestled between the building volumes, reveals a gentle panorama of the nearby hills and vineyards – a quiet retreat to pause and take in the landscape.

Just a few steps from the hotel lies the Adler Bridge, a small but striking viewpoint. From here, guests can admire the Plose, Brixen’s iconic local mountain – a symbol of both tranquility and adventure, where the pulse of the city meets the rhythm of nature.

Food & Drink

At the heart of the Badhaus experience is the Viertel Bar – a welcoming meeting place for guests and locals alike. Here, creative snacks, curated drinks, and a wide selection of local craft beers are served, including the house-brewed Viertel Bier, produced just outside Brixen at the Braubasis brewery in Schabs.
With its cozy, stylish atmosphere, the bar invites guests to linger and enjoy the flavors of the region in a casual, design-forward setting.

Art & Architecture

One of the hotel’s defining features is its integration of contemporary art. Renowned artist Michael Fliri created the stunning light installation “Liquid Starry Sky”, which floats above the lobby like a luminous river of sculptural hands – a symbol of connection, transformation, and shared experience.

At the entrance, Fliri’s surreal sculpture “Bathrobe” greets guests with a sense of humor and introspection, playfully blurring the lines between body, space, and identity.

Badhaus is more than just a hotel – it’s a living, breathing artwork, made for lovers of design, culture, and contemporary aesthetics.

The Surroundings

Brixen is one of South Tyrol’s oldest towns, rich in history, culture, and nature. Explore its baroque old town, hike into the Dolomites, or visit nearby Neustift – a village known for its wine and art.
Badhaus is the perfect base for discovery – and at the same time, a place you’ll want to simply stay and enjoy.

Design Concept: “Aimai” – The Art of Subtle Boundlessness

The Hotel K5, located in Nihonbashi Kabutocho, is a striking blend of history, culture, and modern design. Originally constructed in 1923 as a bank, the building was transformed into a unique design hotel in 2020. Nestled next to the Tokyo Stock Exchange, the K5 bridges traditional Tokyo with the trendy eastern districts. Its central location makes it ideal for exploring landmarks such as Tokyo Station, the Imperial Palace, and Ginza, all within walking distance.

“Aimai” – The Art of Subtle Boundlessness

The Hotel’s design, envisioned by the Swedish architectural studio Claesson Koivisto Rune, revolves around the Japanese concept of Aimai, meaning “vague” or “ambiguous.” In Japanese culture, this term has a poetic and positive connotation, emphasizing openness and harmony.

This principle permeates the hotel’s spaces: boundaries between areas are softened, and functions blend seamlessly. The library doubles as a bar, the café transitions into a lounge, and the wine bar merges with the restaurant. Materials like cedarwood, Japanese stucco, and concrete, paired with bespoke furniture and calming indigo-dyed curtains, create an atmosphere of tranquility and balance​.

The lush greenery curated by Yard Works enhances this ambiance by integrating nature into the urban setting. Plants are thoughtfully placed throughout the hotel, transforming it into a green sanctuary amidst the concrete-heavy Nihonbashi district.

Rooms: Fusion of Elegance and Functionality

The Hotel K5 offers a variety of thoughtfully designed rooms that combine comfort, functionality, and aesthetic appeal. Each room features custom-designed furniture, vinyl record players, and a curated selection of books, emphasizing individuality and sophistication. Indigo-dyed curtains add intimacy, while high ceilings and open layouts foster a sense of spaciousness.

As soon as man discovered how to create fire, he wasted no time in discovering how to benefit from its warm embrace. It is universally human to seek refuge in the warmth of a sauna. Although the concept has its roots deeply intertwined with Scandinavian culture, every civilisation has its own version. From Turkish hammams and Japanese onsen to Mexican temazcals and Russian banyas, humans have sought heat for healing and purification since the dawn of time.
