Living in the mountains Little Village Silberhorn Beatenberg

Little Village Silberhor, Beatenberg

This project for the little village Silberhorn is the result of a thorough analysis of settlement patterns and building types in Beatenberg. The concept has been developed and optimized in stages with close cooperation between developers, architects and authorities.

GmbH www.beaten-gmbh.ch Welcome to Beatenberg

A warm welcome to Beatenberg, ‘The sun terrace of the ’

Beatenberg, Europe’s longest village, is located at an ideal altitude of 1200 metres. The municipal district stretches from the Grünenberg Pass to the Justistal Valley and from the village of Sundlauenen and the famous Beatus Caves on to the top of our local mountain - the (1950 m).

Some 1250 inhabitants live in this ‘most beautiful place in the world’ (Erich von Dä- niken, best-selling author of non-fiction). The unique location, in the midst of an unspoilt natural landscape and offering a spectacular Alpine panorama, is certain to satisfy each and every wish. People living here really do have it all. Beatenberg is quick and easy to reach by car or public transport. The good variety of shops provides virtually everything for daily needs.

Schools are important for families with children: we offer an innovative school system from kindergarten to the 9th class of the secondary school. There are many other at- tractive options such as play groups for tiny tots, English for kids, a steel band for teens and a day school.

We offer sport and leisure activities unlimited: a modern aerial cableway speeds you comfortably up to the Niederhorn and one of the most beautiful holiday regions: sum- mer hiking, climbing, paragliding, or winter walking, skiing, snowboarding, sledging - depending on the season! The village offers tennis courts, a natural ice rink in winter and an indoor swimming pool with sauna which is open all year round. In summer, what could be better than a refreshing bath in beautiful Lake Thun? Around 20 local clubs enrich village life with a variety of culture and sport. In short - Beatenberg has something for absolutely everyone! Beatenberg even has a village newspaper - the ‘Drachebärg Zytig’ (Dragon Mountain News), which appears monthly (in German). More information at www.beatenberg.ch.

As you see: life here is good! We are so lucky to live where others take a holiday! So - once again, may we say:

Welcome to Beatenberg, ‘the sun terrace of the Bernese Oberland’

2 Local features and landscape

Local features and landscape

The project mirrors the pattern of building development in Beatenberg. The entire concept is transparent and provides plenty of free space. The well-spaced arrangement of buildings allows an excellent linkage of the surrounding green zones and attractive views between the buildings. The project has a lasting impact on local features and landscape by modern architecture and exposed site at the entrance to the village.

Building styles

The buildings will be constructed of wood (untreated mountain larch) and have gable roofs. Despite leaning towards a traditional building style, it is not envisaged to build in the customary chalet fashion. The intention is to adopt a far more modern approach to design. Balconies will not be hung on the outside but integrated into the structure so as not to affect the compact character of the cubic form of the buildings. This will provide spacious loggias af- fording protection from the vagaries of the Alpine climate.

Infrastructure

The concept is based on internal access from the main road. The apartments will be reached via a courtyard and a winding path, avoiding any major cutting into the terrain. A limited number of parking spaces will be available in the courtyard with a further 27 in an underground garage. With the exception of the building on the highest level, all apartments will be wheelchair accessible with direct lift access from the garage.
