Book Synopsis



Discovering the elegance of contemporary country house architecture - where tradition meets modern design in stunning rural settings

Country houses have always served as retreats for withdrawing, deceleration, and contemplation. The rural environment provides a refuge from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, seamlessly embedded in nature. Today, there is a growing trend to reinterpret country living and merge it with the demands of the 21st century - creating a symbiosis of comfort, environmental awareness, and aesthetic restraint.
The focus is on harmoniously integrating architecture into the natural surroundings while emphasizing a strong connection to the landscape.

Rural residences are increasingly designed with multifunctional spaces that can be flexibly adapted to evolving living conditions and changing needs - for instance, home office solutions or separate units for multi-generational households. The featured designs, which include new constructions as well as repurposed agricultural buildings such as stables and barns, demonstrate the diversity of contemporary rural architecture while preserving the identity of the countryside.
