Klanghaus Toggenburg

Architecture, sound and furniture in harmony with the landscape

The Klanghaus Toggenburg, situated on Lake Schwendi above Wildhaus, is a unique space where architecture, sound and landscape engage in an intense dialogue. Designed by Meili & Peter Architekten AG in collaboration with Staufer & Hasler Architekten, this timber structure is conceived as a ‘walk-in instrument’: A complex geometry of curved walls, resonance chambers and parabolic forms allows sound to be experienced spatially and connects the interior and exterior in a unique way.

The integral timber structure, with its sculptural form, provides a striking architectural accent in the alpine setting and opens up sweeping views. Haefeli garden tables and chairs in pearl white were used to furnish the terraces and outdoor areas. The furniture acts as a bridge between the building and the landscape: with its clean colour scheme, it echoes the wintry surroundings whilst providing a calm contrast to the warm timber structure. In this way, it naturally blends architectural materiality with the Swiss mountain landscape, allowing both to shine equally.

As robust yet inviting furnishings, they functionally complement the outdoor spaces and create places for people to meet, relax and socialise outdoors, in harmony with the architecture and landscape.
