Conversion of a winegrower's house on the Moselle into vacation apartments

Conversion of a winegrower's house on the Moselle into vacation apartments Where wine was once pressed, can now be lived comfortably. In an old winegrower's house in the Moselle Valley, two design-savvy wine lovers have transformed the local past into modernly designed vacation apartments. by Tanja Pabelick, 29.06.2020 The small town of Zeltingen-Rachtig lies between Bernkastel-Kues and Traben-Trarbach. With the two neighboring villages, it shares the location in the gentle wine hills of the Moselle Valley; a special feature of its panorama is the High Moselle Bridge, completed in 2019, which connects the Eifel with the Hunsrück. A formally austere and gigantic structure of superlatives, it looks as if a geo-triangle had been squeezed upside down between the slopes. Apart from its super bridge, Zeltingen-Rachtig, which is also quite typical for the region, really only knows one topic: wine. Every second house is a winery, a wine shop or a wine bar. In the house of the viney

With the new Chromebook in the outdoor home office

With the new Chromebook in the outdoor home office Homeoffice 2.0 - AD tests the limits of working from home and tries out the tools of the new Chromebook for it. A test report from the Isarstrand. The weather is great and the Isar is just a stone's throw away. The exit restrictions have also been relaxed - off to the outdoor home office. Along for the ride is the new HP Chromebook x360 12b. Three things are spontaneously very important to us so that we can be productive outdoors: working offline - documents stored online must also be accessible and editable without Internet access. Then security - if we do stumble across a public hotspot, sensitive data must still be protected, and we can happily do without a computer virus. Once we've found the perfect spot in the penumbra, we'd like to stay for a while - keyword battery life. So we're heading out and will pay special attention to these points. HP's Chromebook boots up within six seconds. First of all, the p

Pure and poetic: A kitchen in powder tones

Pure and poetic: A kitchen in powder tones We take a look at kitchens around the globe and show you the most beautiful ones in the kitchen profile. This time: Millennial design in Paris with soft curves, delicate colors - and a portion of Ikea. Parisian kitchen fantasy with a basic Scandinavian touch: the pink island dominates the bright room, further emphasized by the wide arcade chandelier by Pholc. What makes this kitchen special? "Purist and infused with poetry" is what the owners of an old Paris apartment wanted in their new kitchen. Heju Studio opened the space with a white louvered glass wall to the entryway, chose soft tones (white, light beige, pink) and played with the motif of the arch. But so that you don't get completely lost in dreams, the feel is also emphasized by the exciting combination of cool terrazzo, sleek wood and slightly humped hand-glazed tiles. Wouldn't you want to sit here for hours, sipping tea and chatting away the afternoon (who sa

The high art of wrapping

The high art of wrapping ADVERTISEMENT| Christmas time is gift time! And every year we are again in demand as packaging artists. A beautifully wrapped gift with a personal touch is already half the battle! With a few tricks of the trade, gifts can be wonderfully wrapped. Jules recently gave a workshop at Juniqe headquarters on the topic of gift wrapping, or as they used to say in the old days. And as always, everything stands and falls with wonderful paper. Juniqe has put out beautiful papers especially for the holiday season, if you order by December 20, they will arrive just in time for the festivities. At the workshop, Jules made boxes out of paper. They are folded in a few steps and are especially suitable for small surprises, chocolates or jewelry. Also a pom-pom or with watercolor drawn gift tags are quite wonderful and especially easy and quick to implement. We have now become very keen on Christmas and gifts get and wrap. We hope you do too! Happy Christmas time! How to ma

Stylish suitcases: Traveling with Away

Stylish suitcases: Traveling with Away Hand on heart, who has stylish suitcases and stylish luggage at home? Personally, I've always been one of those people who were reluctant to dig their bags and suitcases out of the basement when it came time to travel again. Fortunately, things are quite different now and two new gems have moved into both my and Julia's luggage shelves: The Away The Large and the Away The Bigger Carry-On. Goodbye olle luggage, hello Away For far too long I've been ashamed of my ole Tchibo suitcase and Julia has also been traveling well and truly with a turquoise, square something as I affectionately call it. If you are so focused on good interior as we are as an interior blog, other things somehow often fall by the wayside. But lately it goes for us more and more often on trips and a "at home hui, on the road pfui" we want to risk there in any case. All the more we were pleased about the news from Away and have directly chosen two beautif

New hostels

New hostels Germany's newest hotels are not just beautiful. They also tell stories, play with eras - and change the way we look at the question of where we actually want to travel. Like a Bavarian Downton Abbey, the property of the "Kranzbach" opens before the eyes of the visitor. The main house was built in the early 20th century by two British architects in the style of the Arts and Crafts movement, and even today the design of the hotel is in English hands: Ilse Crawford already designed the rooms in the castle, now she refurnished the public rooms. The actually rather Scandinavian style of the London designer always revolves around feeling, so also here - pastel shades, soft fabrics and furs form the character of the rooms, in which small niches open up everywhere, in which one immediately wants to snuggle up at teatime , double rooms from 175 euros. Anneliese Kompatscher / Kranzbach Kardinal-Faulhaber-Strasse actually belongs to that part of Munich where the city

Minimalist conversion of an apartment by DIALECT in Antwerp

Minimalist conversion of an apartment by DIALECT in Antwerp It all started with the fact that the first booked architect could not solve his task to the satisfaction of the client. So Pierric De Coster and Jonas Blondeel of the DIALECT studio were commissioned to design an apartment in Antwerp, and in particular to fundamentally rework the bedroom with en-suite bathroom. The result is a thoroughly sophisticated blend of cool and comfort. by Barbara Hallmann, 07/15/2020 Antwerp is without question an epicenter on the map of European design. This means that anyone who designs here faces particularly high expectations. And to create the extraordinary here also requires extraordinary courage. This bar is raised even higher when the client was already so unhappy with another designer that he gave him the boot. That's the situation Pierric De Coster and Jonas Blondeel found themselves in when they were entrusted with the remodeling of a recently purchased apartment on the second floo

The London designer in conversation.

The London designer in conversation. Sam Hecht does not dwell on unimportant things. In 2002, he founded the Industrial Facility office in London together with architect Kim Colin and has since been designing amazingly simple as well as sophisticated companions for everyday life. Instead of losing themselves in the furniture industry, the duo also designs printers, telephones, lamps, clocks and kitchen appliances. A conversation about cable clutter, seeds and surveillance cameras. Sam Hecht, the Wästberg you recently designed a luminaire that is meant to do more than just provide light. Explain to us what this project is all about. In this design, we wanted to find out what lighting can be today. LEDs are made of diodes, circuit boards and microchips. They are part of the electronic world and not the electrical world like the light bulb still is. So we came up with the idea of making electronics itself the subject. One feature of the w152 light is that the switch can be programmed.
