What It’s All About
Spaces affect us—and we affect spaces. Every action, every word, every thought, and every emotion leaves its mark on a space, shaping it. As we shape the space, it shapes us—it influences us just as much as we influence it. Our living space reveals who we are at our core. Spaces are mirrors of our soul.
We are therefore always in relationship with the space we inhabit. The specific atmosphere of a room emerges through the resonance of form, material, and color, as well as directional qualities and the integration of the four elements. You will learn to understand the ether (also known as Qi/Prana) as a unifying life force, to recognize the imprints of a space, and to respond with effective design impulses: from analysis through energetic cleansing to conscious energy management. Transforming space means transforming oneself. What we put into it has a reciprocal effect—strengthening, clarifying, transforming.

The location for the Ark was chosen deliberately: above the fog line and with a sweeping view. The visual journey takes us from Slovenia and Italy through Styria and back to Carinthia. The most striking peak is Triglav in the Julian Alps, rising to 2,864 meters. Turning westward from the Carnic Alps, the Dobratsch, Gerlitzen, Nockberge, and Niedere Tauern rise up. This view is fantastic, impressive, and soothing all at once. It’s no wonder that the rooms with panoramic views are among the favorites.
The menu features seasonal ingredients grown locally. For example: asparagus and strawberries in the spring. Leafy greens and cherries in the summer. Pumpkin and apples in the fall. Root vegetables and dried fruits in the winter. Exceptions prove the rule. Then things get exotic—with passion fruit and dates at the breakfast buffet or pakoras, Indian vegetable fritters, as a main course. Because we like to be a little crazy. And we were proud to be awarded the Grüne Haube in 1994 for our natural cuisine.
