Perched along Ueberlingen's Seepromenade, the 17th century building at No. 11 has long been a waterfront fixture. Owned by the Oexle family since 1920, it became a restaurant in 1957. A recent renovation balanced preservation with sustainability, incorporating upcycled structural elements and repurposed furnishings. The redesign draws from its setting muted blues and natural materials echo the lake's shifting tones, while expanded window openings maximize natural light and frame uninterrupted water views, reinforcing the seamless connection between architecture and landscape.
