Your project in the canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden
At the foot of the Alpstein, Appenzell Innerrhoden is a landscape of green hills, scattered farmhouses and villages with strong character. The village of Appenzell is famous for its timber houses with brightly painted façades, while Gonten, Schwende and Weissbad have more dispersed settlements, often on sloping ground. The Oberegg enclave, closer to the Rhine Valley, combines traditional houses with more recent buildings. Many properties are old, with timber structures that call for specialist skills when it comes to insulation, windows or woodwork. The canton is German-speaking, yet your request can be written in English. For any project affecting the outside of a traditional Appenzell house, check with your municipality. State the village, postcode and width of the access road if the house is on a slope or outside the village.
- For a timber house with painted façades, attach photos of the exterior so that tradespeople can assess the work.
- If your farmhouse is isolated, describe the access road and how passable it is in winter.
- Give the approximate age of the building, as insulation methods differ for old timber houses.
Made-to-measure projects in the canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden
In Appenzell Innerrhoden, projects outside the usual categories often involve old timber houses: joining two small panelled rooms, installing a bathroom in a former farm bedroom, converting a cowshed into a home for the next generation or creating premises for a craft business. In the village of Appenzell, the tightly packed colourful façades restrict access and call for careful site organisation. Around Gonten, farms scattered across the slopes make delivering materials more complicated, especially once snow sets in. Before altering the envelope of a traditional house, ask the municipality. A detailed description, even written in English, helps local tradespeople understand your idea.
- For a cowshed to be converted into a home, plan floor insulation from the outset, as the original slab is rarely suitable for a living space.
- Photograph the interior woodwork you wish to keep so the tradespeople protect it during the work.

Frequently asked questions
What details should I include for a bespoke project in Appenzell Innerrhoden?
Describe the finished result, intended use and work that does not fit a standard category. Include approximate dimensions, materials and items to keep, with a sketch or safe photographs. State whether design, fabrication and installation should all be included in the proposed project.
How should I describe a project that spans several trades?
Explain the finished result first, then list the elements requiring design, fabrication or installation. Photographs or a sketch can show how these elements connect. Ask who coordinates the different tasks and which parts require a specialist assessment before a complete scope is agreed.
What should I compare in quotes for a bespoke project?
Compare deliverables, materials, design stages and installation against the same brief. Identify prototypes, measuring and any specialist checks separately. Ask how changes are documented and who approves final drawings, so that an initial concept is not confused with a finished installed item.
How should I prepare for a bespoke project visit or work?
Collect dimensions you can obtain safely, photographs and examples of the function or appearance wanted. Identify items to keep and restrictions on access. Keep the brief focused on the work; contact details and any sensitive documents can be handled privately when needed.
