Wasserturm Pirach

Wasserturm Pirach is a landmark in the foothills of the Bavarian Alps between the Lake Chiemsee and the Waginger Lake. With a height of almost 30 metres, the water tower presides over the houses of the hamlet of Pirach. Its façade of silver-coloured sheet steel panels, which protects this 1950s-built structure from the elements, makes for a striking visual impact.

die kleine Acht

On the outskirts of Lindenhagen in the Uckermark region of north-eastern Brandenburg, Berlin architect Thomas Kröger has converted a 1950s estate house into a fantastic holiday home. The extraordinary transformation of this compact saddle-roofed house with its square contour is evident from the outside: large windows open the building out to the landscape, the roof features two huge dormers, and the façade is divided into several plastered sections.

Pur-Ostsee

Haus Pur Ostsee on the outskirts of the fishing village of Prerow on Germany’s Baltic Sea coast is a house that comes with a surprise: from the street side, with its timber façade and the typical roof shape with eyebrow dormers, it looks like a traditional Darßer Schifferhaus. But as you move towards the garden it turns out to be a modern building with a room-high window front along the entire garden side.

Region/Town: DE – Germany, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Prerow

Name: Pur-Ostsee

kleines Vulkaneifelhaus

Kleines Vulkaneifelhaus is a retreat for two in the midst of the unspoilt Eifel landscape in northwestern Rhineland-Palatinate. Situated on a steep slope, this timber house, clad in black charcoal planks, sits atop a plinth of fair-faced concrete. The house appears closed off from the entrance side, and even rather small – an effect created by its few window openings and the low roof on this side.

Region/Town: DE – Germany, Rhineland-Palatinate, Schutz

Name: kleines Vulkaneifelhaus

Scenery: South-facing slope overlooking a broad valley in the volcanic Eifel

Accommodation: House

Solarferienhaus S3

Solarferienhaus S3 (Solar Holiday Home S3) is proof of how an A-frame house dating to the 1970s can be converted into an innovative energy-plus house that – with its modern architectural language and purist interior design – can also appeal to design aesthetes. Located in a former holiday village in Chiemgau, between the Chiemsee lake and Salzburg, the house produces more energy than it uses. This energy surplus can then be used, for example, to charge an electric car or bicycle.

Region/Town: DE – Germany, Bavaria, Chiemgau, Siegsdorf/Vorauf
