Information

Chesa Palmira in Bever was built in 1672 and the original floor plan has remained unchanged to this day. The façade of the historic building was already in a relatively dilapidated state. During the renovation, the desire for energy-efficient improvements arose. This was achieved with Fixit 222 Aerogel high-performance insulating plaster – an 8 cm layer was applied to achieve the desired result, leaving the historic appearance virtually unchanged. Fixit 208 base mix for restoration was used as the finishing plaster. The façade was then whitewashed and the sgraffito from 1952 was restored identically.

Parish assistant's house renovation Bremgarten

The late Gothic building probably served as a chaplaincy for the Bullingerpfründe and became a parish assistant's house after the recatholisation in 1531. The building, which is now a listed building, has been renovated several times over the centuries – most recently in 1990. Following the conversion and energy-efficient renovation in 2016, the historic building continues to be used for residential purposes. A studio was created on the ground floor, which could also be used as a one-room flat with a small kitchen and bathroom. A 2.5-room flat was created on the first floor and a 4.5-room maisonette flat on the second floor. In addition, a basement extension with a new archive for the parish was built.

Apartment building ‘Hotel Meyerhof’ renovation Hospental

The former Hotel Meyerhof was converted into an apartment building in 2021 after standing empty for over 30 years. The energy-efficient renovation was carried out using Fixit 222 Aerogel high-performance insulating plaster with a layer thickness of 6–8 cm. To do this, the existing plaster was removed down to the quarry stone masonry and the insulating plaster was sprayed on by machine. The large, white façade surfaces were coated twice with Fixit 777 fine plaster with a grain size of 0.5 mm. The small grey areas were created using a mixture of Fixit 205 base plaster and Fixit 208 base mixture (homemade Worms plaster). Finally, the exterior façade was painted twice with mineral paint.
