Exposed concrete walls rise to a height of 5.70 metres, while the large window opens onto the vibrant city. In the Atelierhaus C21 in Vienna's Sonnwendviertel district, space breaks away from its established notions and redefines openness and structure, living and working.

jacob 1808

Between Lake Constance, St. Gallen and the Alpstein mountains lies the baroque town of Bischofszell. Once, fabric merchants, craftsmen, innkeepers and Thurgau noblemen lived here behind the picturesque façades on Grubplatz. Today, the Jacob 1808 is a wonderful place to spend a holiday.

dortmannhof

From the outside, the listed Dortmannhof seems as if it has fallen out of time; inside, an artistic backdrop of historical inventory and unusual perspectives opens up. A subtle and clever concept by architect and furniture designer Sigurd Larsen, which now also welcomes guests.

Zalig Aan Zee – Elisabethstraat 8

Belle Époque in Belgium: Close to the sea, in the midst of the historic splendour of the seaside resort of Blankenberge, stands this listed holiday home. A bright and atmospheric gathering place for families, friends and larger groups.

casa 1923

Poetic minimalism behind an artful façade: the virtuously decorated Casa 1923 is one of Faro's outstanding Art Nouveau buildings. With their careful handling of traditions and materials, the architects of PAr tie in with the building's past and redefine it for today's needs.

In a lush green backyard in the middle of Berlin Charlottenburg, the Wilmina - an extraordinary hotel with a delicate history - reveals its unique dimension. The listed ensemble has been transformed by the architect duo Grüntuch Ernst, who have extended and reinterpreted it as a place of community.

cabins in the city

Historical insights behind a modern façade: amidst Georgian townhouses, right between Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Botanic Garden, an open, bright retreat hides behind corten steel and expansive glass.

the artist tarifa

The Artist Tarifa

The sky over Tarifa: The Artist Tarifa, a listed building, is as cosmopolitan as the city itself. A haven of tranquillity amidst the whitewashed, lively streets of the old town, its roof terrace offers views stretching all the way to the mountains of Morocco.

palazzo fabiny

Like a fortress, the small medieval town of Diano Castello towers over the Ligurian landscape. In Palazzo Fabiny you feel as if you have been transported to a bygone era, because the history of the old patrician house goes back almost 400 years.

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.
