Lake/river – HOLIDAYARCHITECTURE

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.

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.

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.

Stalla d’Immez

An old stable transformed into a light-filled loft: the Stalla d'Immez in the remote Val Müstair opens up a new dimension to its over 300-year old history. A versatile spatial experience with a view of the impressive mountain backdrop of Piz Lad and Piz Terza.

bauernhaus vogtland

Bauernhof Vogtland

Cultural monument in a secluded setting: Surrounded by fields, dense forest and a murmuring stream, the Bauernhof Vogtland is one of the rare half-timbered farmhouses of the region. A historical experience of simple beauty!

tilia

Tilia Authentic Home

Weathered timbered cladding, historical beams, reused bricks – the Tilia Authentic Home in the river landscape of the Vistula Delta has not been built on, but rather with the traces of history.

casa raslei

Casa Raslei in Ticino looks rather inconspicuous from afar at first glance. The special features of this holiday home only become apparent up close and above all inside: an intriguing project by the architectural firm Buchner Bründler.

la stalla

Design history in Ticino: in 1976, Otto e Associati, the architect collective Otto in Lugano transformed the 130-year-old stable into a simple residential house that still stands out today for its open, functional architecture and select furnishings.
