INSPIRATION FROM AROUND THE WORLD FOR AN AESTHETIC AND MEANINGFUL LIFESTYLE
With the Liminal House in West Vancouver, McLeod Bovell has created more than just a detached house. He created a symbol of being neither here nor there. A symbol that goes completely against the traditional idea of living and its architecture.
The Amalfi Coast, one of Italy's most picturesque regions, has always attracted artists, writers and bon vivants from all over the world. The breathtaking landscape, where steep cliffs alternate with crystal-clear waters, lush lemon groves and charming villages clinging to the mountainsides, provide a backdrop that has inspired for centuries. As early as the 19th century, the Romantics found a source of inexhaustible inspiration here, and since then the Amalfi Coast has been a magnet for people seeking beauty in life.
Watch a blade of grass in the wind, watch the sun over the mountains, listen to the birds chirping, look up at the sky, look up at the sky a little longer, breathe in, breathe out, breathe deeply. Nature grounds us, nature makes us calm, nature helps us to leave everyday life behind. In Puradies, we encounter nature in many different ways.
Camping is a thing of the past. In the forests of a Canadian Unesco biosphere reserve, guests at Territoire Charlevoix spend the night in cosy wooden houses built on stilts by Atelier L'Abri.
There are some moments in the mountains that are particularly beautiful because you can't predict or evoke them. They just happen. This includes the appearance of animals in nature. Encounters with capricorns or golden eagles and the wild, unadulterated behaviour of the animals make up the magic of the moment. A good starting point for the search for the so-called Big Five is the Gradonna****s Mountain Resort at Kals am Großglockner.
Lapland, which stretches across the northern regions of Sweden, is a land of unspoilt nature, snow-covered expanses and magical northern lights. This region, which covers a large part of the Arctic Circle, offers visitors unique experiences in one of the most remote and beautiful landscapes in Europe. An outstanding example of innovative tourism in this region is the Treehotel, which impresses with its unusual tree houses and sustainable philosophy.
The Küglerhof in South Tyrol is surrounded by vineyards, meadows, forests and panoramic views. Owner Karoline Dilitz affectionately calls the surrounding 3.5 hectares of her hotel the Green Island. What is there to experience in the garden oasis? Lots of greenery, plus this and that, but above all peace and dolce vita.
If you feel good, you can slow down. How do you succeed in feeling good? The Hotel Schwarzschmied has a lot to offer here, but one thing above all: a holistic wellness concept that is more than just the sum of yoga sessions and spa treatments. It is a feeling. The feeling of letting go, slowing down and finding yourself.
