Casas de Pousadouro

That architecture is able to make a unique and memorable holiday destination becomes obvious by exploring the pages of www.urlaubsarchitektur.de: A precious collection, born from an aesthetic and very personal need of the renowned German architect Jan Hamer: to find places for one's holiday that present themselves as a successful symbiosis of style and atmosphere, of architecture and nature. An ambitious and successful project: Jan Hamer's collection now includes more than 200 houses from mini-apartments to B & Bs, from beachfront villas to mountain design hotels. And the growing number of fans of the site makes it clear that aesthetics on vacation are not only the need of an architect with sophisticated taste but of all those who are tired of having to settle for the usual standardized offer on vacation.

Here are some of the houses by Jan Hamer collection that reveal the identities, atmospheres and stories very special. Summer is coming.

All accommodation facilities the same? Mass hotel? Mainstream holidays? No, there are places where you can experience a different holiday, made of style, architecture and design. And there is a portal that collects and proposes these places. Is called urlaubsarchitektur o holidayarchitecture (for those who prefer to visit its English version), strongly desired by Jan Hamer, architect and demanding traveler, who has long selected fascinating places, often owned by other architects, able to act as a perfect synthesis between the architectural value of the structure, the elegance of the renovations, the taste and sobriety of the furnishings, designed to enhance the rooms, but above all to make the stay of those who rent them comfortable and unique.
