I’m actually a winter child. I love the cold season with its cosy afternoons with hot tea and waffles – and the feeling that you’ve really earned these hours of wonderful idleness after a walk in the snow.
With the first warming rays of sunshine, the longing for summer comes over me very suddenly every year. Sometimes it happens on a walk when I have to take my jacket off because it’s so warm. But occasionally the trigger is planning for a holiday or a picture. Sometimes everything comes together, like this year.
When I stumbled across the colourful façade of Casa 1923 (photo: João Mascarenhas), I couldn’t stop my imagination running wild – the Moorish architecture with its 1001 Arabian Nights appeal triggered an irrepressible wanderlust in me. Booking a trip to the south was just a small step, and my longing for summer has only grown as a result. Now I can hardly wait, winter child or not.

Much of HOLIDAYARCHITECTURE’s work involves dealing with visual material. Sometimes there is a picture that particularly appeals to us – a photo that surprises us, fascinates us, or simply forces us to pay even more attention to a house or look at it from a different perspective. You can find this in our series “One Picture”.
