No car needed – 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.

alte goldschmiede suedpfalz

Alte Goldschmiede Südpfalz

Restored to its former splendour: situated in the Tuscany of Germany between vineyards and the Palatinate Forest, the Alte Goldschmiede in Klingenmünster shows its potential that has been hidden for almost 100 years.

aristo house

Creating clarity: Belgian architect Tom Thys has given new life to the Aristo House. This historical building dates back to 1914 and is situated on a slope of the Trigno Valley with a fantastic view over the hills, woods and fields of Abruzzo.

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.

Unser Vorsäß – Geißkopf

Honour the old, welcome the new: built in 1807 in the midst of lush mountain meadows between the valley and the alpine pastures, the Vorsäßhütte, which was in need of renovation, was rebuilt according to the old model.

villa sorriso — default

Small bays, white sandy beaches, sophisticated Art Nouveau buildings - in the charming seaside town of Castiglioncello, where artists and actors were once inspired by the beauty of the Etruscan coast, Villa Sorriso lies amidst the lush greenery and looks far across the Tyrrhenian Sea.

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.

cedä m

The Cedä M in the heart of the small mountain village of Dosoledo on the edge of the Dolomites tells the story of this memorable place in each of its five holiday rooms. Built in 1807 and shaped by the life of the farmers in the secluded Comelico Valley, the house is a historical gem in every way.
