Situated in the Upper Bavarian Inn Valley, this holiday home is only 4 meters wide. The architects Christine Arnhard and Markus Eck built it for themselves and on their own terms. With its solid walls of wood and clay, the house is like a loft on five levels: the half-offset stacked rooms are openly interconnected. The entrance area with a garage leads into the dining kitchen, which can be opened with large folding doors on two sides. Two floating terraces extend the interior space outdoors. The living area with a fireplace and views onto the Spitzstein is located half a floor above. The bedroom, with views of the “Auerbach” river, is on the next level – and further up still is the gallery under the roof with a freestanding bathtub set beneath a skylight. There is an outdoor sauna in the garden.

We had rented this house in August this year. Furnished with both money and taste, no wishes remain unanswered. The dining area sports a fantastic kitchen with a pro coffee maker. On the terrace you can barbecue on a Weber grill. We loved every minute and spent a lovely family week end with hiking, barbecue (try the local butcher with his dry aged steaks) and discussions over a pint of local brew. Not to miss!! Great house, great architecture.
