Ferienhaus Wes­ter­deich 22 in St. Peter Ording, Vollerwiek / DE – Germany, Schleswig Holstein

Holiday home Wes­ter­deich 22

The beach at St. Peter-Ording on the Eider­stedt pen­insula in Schleswig-Hol­stein mea­sures twelve kilo­metres, making it the longest sandy beach in Germany and a paradise for water sports enthu­siasts of all kinds. If you follow the mud­flats with their salt marshes and tidal creeks on one side and the wetland land­scape on the other – pre­ferably by bike on the dyke path – you will soon reach the small, tranquil village of Vollerwiek.
Here, between fields and the North Sea, lies the Wes­ter­deich 22 holiday home – a wooden bun­galow whose low height allows it to blend dis­creetly into the trees and dense bamboo planting.

The single-storey timber con­s­truction impresses with its mini­malist, func­tional design and con­sistent use of mate­rials. Inside, the load-bearing timber structure has been left exposed on the walls and cei­lings. The eye-cat­ching feature are the floor-to-ceiling, flush-mounted windows, which offer an unob­s­tructed view across the fields to the dyke. On spring and summer days, when the sliding doors are open, there is seamless access to the sur­rounding terrace with its can­ti­le­vered roof.

The centre of the house is the spa­cious, open-plan living, cooking and dining area with a kitchen island, long table and cosy sofa corner. Here, too, the tran­sition to the garden is fluid, and there is a glass-enc­losed fire­place for cooler days. The three bed­rooms and two bath­rooms – one of which has a free-standing bathtub and sauna – can accom­modate up to seven guests. A small reading room can be used either as an addi­tional bedroom or for working.

In addition to various seating areas, a bar­becue and a fire pit for long evenings, children will find a sandpit in the garden and cooking enthu­siasts will find herb beds. From the house, it is 200 metres to the dyke for walking or cycling (there are two bicycles and a child trailer) along the Wadden Sea – sur­rounded by the interplay of the tides and most beau­tiful at sunset.
