Island – HOLIDAYARCHITECTURE

Ferienhaus Strandgrau

STRANDWEISS & STRANDGRAU

On the Baltic Sea island of Usedom, a family from Berlin built two holiday homes exactly as they wanted them to be.

Casa da Vargam

Casas da Vargem

With sweeping views of the sea, Casas da Vargem sit in a sunny location on a hillside above the village centre of Ponta do Sol on Madeira's south coast.

Panoramahaus Usedom

In the Baltic seaside resort of Zinnowitz on the Island of Usedom, a family from Berlin has created a retreat from big-city life. The house is designed as a place of relaxation and inspiration and reflects the hosts' penchant for architecture, design and art.

Boomerang House

The Boomerang House

Modern architecture in an olive grove: The Boomerang House is a B&B with only two guest suites, situated in a secluded olive grove near the village of Sivas in southern Crete.

Atelier Palermo

Palermo is a city of contrasts, where baroque splendor meets morbid charm and a lively atmosphere. In the capital of Sicily, Stefan Koppelkamm—graphic designer, photographer, author and university lecturer—has fulfilled his dream of having his own atelier in a baroque palazzo. During the time he is not using the studio, it can be rented.

Tetenbüllspieker

Wasserkoog is considered one of the most beautiful villages on the Eiderstedt peninsula. There are old farmhouses surrounded by the typical North Frisian landscape with meadows, pastures and a wide horizon. And on the dike on the edge of the village you will find a residence that combines the flair of a historic thatched house with modern design.

Apartment // House // Resort

Kallithea Villas

Kalli thea means great view—and the Kallithea Villas keep what their name promises.

Cabanon Concrete Retreat

Cabanon Concrete Retreat

These two holiday homes, built by the artist couple Sofia Mavroudis and Antonis Choudalakis on a hillside on the island of Crete, were inspired by Le Cabanon, the famous wooden hut designed by Le Corbusier.

Casa Sabir

Outside: a lively hustle and bustle. Inside: peace and quiet and the grandeur of bygone eras. Casa Sabir is located on the market square of the small island of Ortigia – the historic centre of the Sicilian city of Syracuse. The 85m2 apartment on the first floor of the house, built at the beginning of the 20th century, boasts a great deal of historical flair. High vaulted ceilings, old cement tiles and walls, which display the traces of the original plastering in different colours, characterise its ambience.

mavie

The holiday house mavie on the Greek island of Lefkada evokes associations with an elegant ocean liner.
