11.door
Gift tip from the editors

“We are not always responsible for what happens around us. But we can often take responsibility for finding a solution. That’s what happened to us when Storm Vaia hit the Dolomites. We decided to create something new, something positive for the area, the communities and the people. We focussed on what is important: //Face what matters// means exactly that.”

At the end of October 2018, Storm Vaia brought the Dolomites to their knees: in just a few hours, 42 million trees fell due to relentless winds and devastating rain.

Federico, Paolo and Giuseppe from “Vaia” decided to take action: They used the wood from the fallen trees to create the Vaia Cubes, passive speakers for smartphones that produce a warm and deep sound.

For every one-of-a-kind design item sold, a new tree is planted in the Dolomites.

By the way, you will find the 11. door of this year’s Advent calendar at this HOLIDAYARCHITECTURE house:

Holidayarchitecture door for 11 December

Apartment

Casa 1923

Poetic minimalism behind an artful façade: the virtuously decorated Casa 1923 is one of Faro’s outstanding Art Nouveau buildings. With their careful handling of traditions and materials, the architects of PAr tie in with the building’s past and redefine it for today’s needs.

So, this is Christmas… again! Throughout Advent, the Urlaubsarchitektur team will be presenting daily gift tips, stories and inspiration for architects, travel enthusiasts and for Christmas grinches, too!
