UPCOMING PROJECTS
THE WERKSTÄTTEN PROJECT
The Frederick R. Koch Foundation of Austria is about to embark on an exciting project to augment and complement the historic and architecturally spectacular Schloss Blühnbach, through the transformation of a former Estate structure, some half a mile distant from the Schloss, known as the Werkstätten or Workshop.
This charming Hansel & Gretel-like building will be renovated and converted into 21 private bedroom suites with bath and study area to provide accommodation and workspace where young artists and performers can work alongside top professionals in their chosen field. These pairings will focus on education and artistic growth in an atmosphere of boundless creativity. The glorious Schloss Blühnbach and its stunning setting will serve as an inspiring backdrop to this immersive mentorship program.
THE CREATION OF AN ALPINE GARDEN
The expansion of Blühnbach’s Alpine Garden progressed this year under the expert guidance of our head gardener. This continuing initiative will provide interns with the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with the unique challenges of garden design in high-altitude, mountainous landscapes, furthering our commitment to both horticultural mentorship, and sustainable, climate-resilient landscaping practices.
