Building at 1,800 metres above sea level – Thomas Fischbach on his role as planner and coordinator at the Hochschober

Building at the Hochschober is not just about planning walls, spaces and processes – it is about shaping a place with history, values and a distinctive atmosphere. In this episode, Thomas Fischbach talks to Martin Klein about the unique challenges of a construction project in the mountains.

They explore the many details that never appear on a plan but are essential to making a project feel “right”. It is about construction processes that go beyond simply getting the job done. About collaboration built on trust. About decisions driven less by prestige and more by purpose. And about understanding that building at the Hochschober is not simply about building for a business, but for a feeling, a philosophy and generations to come.

A conversation about building at 1,800 metres above sea level – and about what can emerge when people work together as equals to thoughtfully develop a place that already holds so much history and character.
