HOLIDAYARCHITECTURE – architecturally outstanding holiday homes and guest houses

in den soellen — Haus Blankensee, Architekt Thomas Kröger/TKA

The house is a project of the Berlin architect Thomas Kröger, who always captures the beauty of the Uckermark in an unusual way and with great respect for the landscape. With In den Söllen he has created his first own holiday home.

New houses

panoramahaus 1314

Panoramahaus 1314

On 1314 metres above sea level, the Panorama House 1314 rises out of the dark green coniferous forest high up on the mountain in St. Lorenzen, from where you can view all the highlights of the South Tyrolean landscape. Spread over four floors, a concentrated, almost meditative atmosphere unfolds here.

waldchalets bradnertal

Waldchalets Brandnertal

Far from the chalet cliché. Five minimalist cottages stand on the edge of the Brandner Valley forest. Hidden under the Vorarlberg treetops and with an open view of the mighty Rätikon mountains.

lake house

When sitting on the wooden terrace of the Lake House in the Dutch province of Overijssel, you almost feel like you are on the sun deck of a ship. The holiday home with its three closed sides nestles like a cocoon in the lakeside landscape to open up to the water from the front.

Apartment // House

Remise Possenhofen

The small village of Possenhofen lies directly on Lake Starnberg. A rural idyll with a heavenly swimming beach and a majestic history. After all, Empress Sisi spent her childhood here. The Remise Possenhofen also dates from this time: it was built in 1890 as the coach house of the adjacent Villa Fischer.

bauernchalet elbacher gütel

Bauernchalet Elbacher Gütel

The fact that the holiday house in the Bavarian town of Eurasburg is now over 450 years old and has already experienced a great deal, makes it all the more beautiful. Especially in its architectural redesign, which plausibly combines historical structures and modern elements.

hotel sonne

A break in style can be so beautiful! The Zittau Hotel Sonne welcomes its guests with exposed concrete ceilings and raw brick walls, eccentric furniture and modern art. What sounds like far too much is beautifully combined here.

tiroler tris

Tiroler Tris + 1

Spatial experiences with a distinct slant. Those who want to combine alpine adventure with modern minimalism will find a suitably sloping roof over their heads in Maurach am Achensee.

villa nyland

Face to face with the sea. On Cap Bénat, one of the most beautiful viewpoints on the Côte d’Azur, lies Villa Nyland. Surrounded by old pine trees, oaks and pines that extend down to the beach.

schilana 80

Switzerland, Engadin

A family home with plenty of space, quiet corners of retreat and a magnificent view: the traditional Engadine house has been lovingly restored and offers amenities that leave nothing to be desired.

Aufberg 1113

Austria, Salzburger Land, Zell am See

AUFBERG 1110 and AUFBERG 1113

In the midst of the Hohe Tauern mountains: a retreat and place of energy combined with artistic architecture. Natural materials harmonise, both outside and inside.
