architek[tour] tirol – guide to architecture in tyrol

In the Tyrolean community in the lower Ötztal Valley, which is characterized by tourism and tradition, an attractive site for the village community was created with the new music pavilion. An elongated wall is flanked by two side arms for technical equipment, storage, toilets and a bar, while the slightly sloping terrain is used as a natural grandstand. The pavilion takes on its very own character through the use of tamped concrete, the exact granulation and pigmentation of which was developed in numerous experiments.

Located on the edge of the village of Kühtai, the Dortmunder Hütte was built in 1932 and carefully renovated and expanded in 2017. The aim was to preserve its simple alpine character while meeting today's requirements for comfort and functionality. The tall, slender building was extended to the rear and restructured, with a terrace opening up the view to the south-sloping terrain.
