Minimalism on the edge of the forest: the compact building is simple and unpretentious, but a glance through the window reveals that the holiday home in the pretty village of Hitzacker is full of highlights.

Holidays with campus flair: Not only the fresh breeze, but also the reinterpreted brick architecture of the JAP Retreat Appartments in Wilhelmshaven reveal that the North Sea is only a few minutes away.

A plot of land on the banks of the Aller. An architect specialising in large public buildings. And the desire for a retreat to escape the daily grind of the office. Voilà: a wooden house from the early 1990s that has aged remarkably well.
