Lake/river – HOLIDAYARCHITECTURE

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.

In the Hotel Sturm, the architecture of the 80s takes on new dimensions, artfully and subtly connecting the past with the present. A multi-layered house with a clear philosophy and sustainable concept, set amidst the cultural landscape of the Rhön.

idaho

A trip to Idaho is closer than you think. No Rocky Mountains, no Snake River, but a holiday home reminiscent of the architecture of the American 1970s. Located directly on the high banks of the Eider river and with a far-reaching view over the water.

umgebinde 1657

A testimony to Saxon history made of sandstone and half-timbering: situated on a sunny slope in Saxon Switzerland, just a few metres from the Elbe, this cultural gem offers its visitors two holiday apartments to discover the impressive Elbe Sandstone Mountains.

hotel des horlogers

Hôtel des Horlogers

Trees growing from the ceiling, rock-like light fixtures, sloping walls and deliberate bumps in the floor. Located in the heart of the Vallée de Joux, the Hôtel des Horlogers is anything but ordinary. Like a linear snail shell, it winds its way into the pristine landscape of the Swiss Jura.

Na Travessa Suites

Monumental masonry meets linear lightness. Hidden in the lively heart of Porto's historic centre, the Na Travessa Suítes guesthouse stylishly and harmoniously combines history and the spirit of Zeitgeist. It has its own small garden and a view of the Sé Cathedral.

gut pohnstorf

Apartment // House

At Gut Pohnstorf in the middle of Mecklenburg Switzerland, you will not only find old half-timbered architecture, antique furniture and modern art, but also historical female power. Each of the seven holiday suites in the listed manor house bears the name of a special woman of the 19th century.

kleine bleibe

In the Kleine Bleibe on the edge of the Gelbachtal in the Westerwald, what counts is actually the absence of things. Far away from digital overstimulation, you can enjoy a puristic and sustainable holiday here and drift through the days in a truly relaxed way.

casatelier.porto

casatelier.porto

The casatelier in the middle of Porto's backstreets is a special place. For here, not only do floral patterns entwine themselves on the exterior façade of the narrow townhouse, but a subtly composed work of art also blossoms for the guests inside.

der birkenhof

Fieldstone barn from the outside, inside a loft. High, bright rooms behind thick stone walls, modern steel stairs in front of clay-plastered walls and plank floors made of local pine next to bathrooms with a concrete look. Cosy farmhouse romance meets an urban attitude to life here.
