Tyrolean Farmhouse Stube of 1830
A Tyrolean farmhouse Stube from 1830, shown in a panoramic photograph, with wood-paneled walls, a beamed ceiling and built-in seating around the room.
Design characteristics
This panorama captures the whole room, which is useful for understanding how a Stube works: low ceiling, continuous wood paneling, small windows set deep in the walls, built-in benches and a central table. The stove would heat the whole room. For a mountain home, these proportions make a winter room that feels sheltered no matter how large the house is.
