Timeless and sustainable: Accoya Color Grey in use at Lake Wörthersee

Harmonious interplay of nature and architecture

Harmonious interplay of nature and architecture

On the idyllic Wörthersee in Austria, stands an impressive boathouse and bathhouse , raised entirely above the water on stilts. The entire building is clad in Accoya Color Grey – from the facade and decking to the railings and stairs. Thanks to its resistance to moisture and weathering, Accoya Color Grey retains its shape and won’t rot, even in direct contact with water.

The spacious Accoya terrace invites you to relax. From here, you can enjoy the magnificent views of the lake and the surrounding green hills. A refreshing swim in the clear water and a comfortable return via the Accoya steps back to the terrace complete the experience.

The project was implemented precisely and with high competence by Holzbau Tschabitscher GmbH and was delivered by long-standing Accoya partner M. Hechenblaickner GmbH .

Why Accoya Color Grey was chosen

Why Accoya Color Grey was chosen

Accoya Color Grey is the perfect choice for boathouses and bathhouses, as its unique aesthetic and elegance blend seamlessly into the natural surroundings. The subtle grey color blends harmoniously with the surrounding green hills and remains durable even in intense sunlight and direct water contact.

The wood is dyed through to the core , so that the color is retained even with signs of use, scratches and wear – the ideal solution for a building that is permanently exposed to the influences of nature and moisture.

Despite its challenging waterfront location, Accoya Color Grey remains dimensionally stable and withstands the elements for years without rotting or deteriorating. Accoya’s sustainability is further underscored by its Cradle to Cradle certification. This combination of stability, aesthetics, and environmental awareness sets a new standard for demanding projects in natural and humid environments.
