Holiday home
Villa Sorriso
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.
Apartment
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.
Holiday home
onedown
onedown is not just located in the middle of the unspoilt dune landscape of North Jutland, it is part of it. A holiday home for eight people, integrated into the hilly terrain and its vegetation.
Holiday home
black+bright
On the Danish island of Møn — in the midst of wild meadows and pastures — the consistently modern house Black+Bright skilfully plays with contrasts and rests above all in itself.
Holiday home
Eremo
Holiday home Eremo is perched on a hill above the northern Italian harbour town of Imperia, on the so called “Riviera”. Situated, as though on a viewing platform, on the edge of a centuries-old pine forest, the house offers an impressive panoramic view over the city and the Ligurian sea.
Apartment // Hotel // Resort
La Darbia
Lake Orta is considered the most romantic of northern Italy’s sub-Alpine lakes. On its eastern shore – just above the town of Orta – la Darbia is set into an idyllic hillside and celebrates la dolce vita in Piedmont.
Holiday home
Cingle 30
With panoramic views of the bay of Soller and the mountains, Cingle 30 is located on a steep slope in the coastal town of Port de Soller. It consists of a concrete cube that rises above a substructure with traditional quarry stone walls.
Hotel
Anders
A house that seems to be in motion, lying flat like the horizon at an altitude of 1850 metres and giving its structure free rein. Lightness abounds here in the midst of the impressive South Tyrolean mountains, thanks to the clarity and reduction of form.
Holiday home
Casa Salvati
Casa Salvati is part of an ensemble of three holiday homes built by the architects Alberto Salvati and Ambrogio Tresoldi in 1972 on a hill on the western shore of Lake Garda. An important element of Salvati and Tresoldi’s work was the use of colour.
Holiday home
The Triangle
The holiday home in the Thy National Park on the Danish North Sea coast hides in nature due to its green roofs extending deep down. As the glazed front and back facades allow views right through the house, it seems to merge with its surroundings.
Bed & Breakfast
La Mugletta
La Mugletta is a modern B&B in the Euganean hills of Northern Italy, not far from Padua, Vicenza and Venice. The interplay of nature and architecture was integral to the design of the building.
Holiday home
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.
Holiday home
De Strandjutter
Near lighthouse and beach the holiday home “De Strandjutter” is located in a small cottage area on the Dutch North Sea island Schiermonnikoog overlooking the adjacent dunes.
Holiday home
La Vignarella
La Vignarella holiday home in the north-east of Corsica lies directly behind the dunes and merges almost seamlessly with the beach. The modern architecture of this house harmonises perfectly with its surroundings.
Holiday home
U Magazinu
Restrained forms, subtle play of shadows: The beach villa u magazinu in north-eastern Corsica allows summer to take the leading role.
The restoration of the former family beach shop was intended to revitalise this evocative place with modern architecture, without losing its soul.
