no black aurora nook

Black Aurora Nook

Between the expanse of Austnesfjord and the imposing Higravstinden, the highest mountain in Lofoten, Black Aurora Nook defies the harsh landscape. A remote place where nature takes the leading role. Also in terms of architecture.

domaine le cariol

Domaine Le Cariol

The limestone walls of Domaine Le Cariol stand out brightly against the landscape of the Périgord. This magnificent country estate, surrounded by vineyards, small rivers and wide valleys, has an eventful history dating back to the 12th century.

malsehn

The house with its Scandinavian look, dark façade and large asymmetrical green roof is part of the “Meerleben” holiday project that combines sustainable construction principles with common sense.

secular retreat

Secular Retreat

Peter Zumthor’s Secular Retreat is the award-winning Swiss architect’s first building in the UK. This extraordinary, sculptural retreat of concrete and glass stretches discreetly into the sheltered landscape and puts it in the limelight.

casa agila

On a secluded hill, just four kilometres from the Sicilian baroque town of Noto, sits the holiday home Casa Agila, which blends modern architecture with regional influences and offers space for four people.

saftstationen

The Saftstationen, built in 1884 in the west of the island of Møn, is one of the last industrial landmarks of its kind. Where sugar beet was once processed into sweet juice, you can now spend your holidays, celebrate festivals and experience culture.

the artist tarifa

The Artist Tarifa

The sky over Tarifa: The Artist Tarifa, a listed building, is as cosmopolitan as the city itself. A haven of tranquillity amidst the whitewashed, lively streets of the old town, its roof terrace offers views stretching all the way to the mountains of Morocco.

Amidst contemplative mountain scenery in the sunlit village of Ardez, the modern Chasa Tuoretta draws on traditional architecture and is inspired by one of the region’s oldest building forms: the medieval residential tower.
