The Where Architects Stay - Series heads towards the water again: stylish vacation accommodations at the coasts of Western Europe where architects would stay themselves when travelling.

Individuals with a passion for design may have high expectations of their vacation accommodations. The new volume from the series Where Architects Stay is dedicated to the Atlantic coast of the western part of the European continent with its different landscapes and lively cities. Just as diverse as this region are the carefully selected accommodations presented here—imaginatively designed jewels, far from mass tourism.

This architecture and travel guide invites readers to discover enchanting vacation homes, whose architecture and interior design make each stay perfect: ranging from lonely lighthouses to urban lofts, from sustainable tree houses to minimalist villas or historic structures. Each property is distinguished by the highest design quality with a personal touch, originality, and much attention to detail.
