Klasse statt Masse: Ferien in guter Architektur.

Jan Hamer is the founder of the online platform holidayarchitecture. He started it 16 years ago in Denmark. When the architect helped a friend there to build a modern-style holiday home, he noticed that such properties were difficult to find on the internet. Owners of modern holiday homes, in turn, usually had problems reaching architecture-savvy travellers. In the meantime, according to an article in the online magazine baunetz interior|design, the holidayarchitecture platform has developed into a portal with 560 holiday homes from Norway to the Canary Islands. In his interview with the magazine, the founder explains how this came about, what has changed since the founding and what goals he is pursuing.

Hamer explains his business model in the interview as follows: “In contrast to other platforms, we do not handle bookings, but present projects that we find interesting. The houses pay a small amount for this, but we don’t earn anything from the bookings. We do not interfere in the communication between hosts and guests, which we consider very important. The exchange with and among our hosts is also important to us.”

In addition to a detailed description of the property and a number of photos, there are details for each holiday home about what you can do here, why “holidayarchitecture” likes the house, for whom it suits as well as information about sustainability.
