ALL NOTES

Three towns, three old houses and three distinct ways of hosting. From Sterzing to Brixen and Glurns, a South Tyrolean thread through food, wine, architecture, craft and the people who keep hospitality close to its place.

From the family-run Schwarzschmied in Lana to an old inn, a garden villa, a city hotel and a mountain farm, Klaus and Moritz Dissertori have built ALTO one house at a time. A Hosts & Habitats story about architecture, food, community and the people who give hospitality its feeling.

At Reschio, architecture is not treated as a finished object but as something lived with, questioned and continued. A Hosts & Habitats portrait of Count Benedikt Bolza, his family and the network of craft, landscape, hospitality and knowledge that has grown around one Umbrian estate.

Fairmont Golden Prague carries the former InterContinental into another chapter through restored Brutalist architecture, Czech art, glass and hospitality. A Place Reading about the people, materials and urban threads that continue far beyond the hotel itself.

ALMA Prague is not simply a restaurant, but a connected house of food, wine, craft, fermentation and conversation. This Place Reading explores the KRO culture, architecture and collective authorship that shaped it — and why the project helped inspire FAJN.

South Moravia reveals itself as a landscape of continuations rather than reinventions. Across wineries, restored mills, family-run guesthouses and cultural institutions, architecture becomes a way of carrying history forward — connecting wine, craftsmanship, hospitality and contemporary design into one coherent regional narrative.

A former women’s prison, a hidden garden behind Kantstraße, and a family of architects who became owners, hosts and place keepers. In this conversation, Grüntuch Ernst reflect on Wilmina as an urban habitat shaped through transformation, light, memory, hospitality and ongoing care.

Architect-hosted places feel different A visit to Wilmina, where a former prison has evolved into a remarkable ecosystem of gardens, hospitality, food and culture — and where coherence is felt long before it is understood.

Architect-hosted places feel different because the people who imagined them continue to inhabit, shape and care for them long after opening day.

Some places stay with us because architecture, atmosphere, objects, food and human presence seem to belong to the same thought.
