SOLO Office KGDVS, Spain

In seeking to emphasize as much as possible the natural beauty of the site, the architecture studio Office KGDVS has created a house without limits with regard to the surrounding nature – a living area with the landscape running though it and a comfortable space built on the plateau that shelters it so that it almost disappears. The circular house provides a covered trail between the nature reserve and the interior patio. Four sets of posts support the roof and separate the rooms and living areas. The façades can be fully opened to remove the border between inside outside. The patio, at the heart of the property, is partly taken up by a lake created for the comfort of residents.

Book: Where Architects Stay in Europe: Lodgings for Design Enthusiasts

It bodes well when architecture meets vacation, it is a combination that promises relaxation and pleasure, inspiration and style, all in one. Each of these very special European lodgings is distinguished by the highest stylistic quality, personal touches, originality and passion for detail: Whether minimalist, experimental, posh or lavish; whether newly built or refurbished; whether houseboat, luxury loft or treehouse; whether one-time church, vineyard, mill or pump room; whether located in the trendiest metropolis, high in the mountains or on a remote coastline; whether holiday home, resort, glamping or bed and breakfast... The selected unique and individual projects appeal to traveling architects and design aficionados as well as individual travelers with discerning tastes, while at the same time reflecting the diverse beauty of the old continent.
