Nestled between Kopřivnice and Štramberk in the Czech Republic, the Chestnut House is a rustic retreat designed by Valarch Studio in 2017.
Aptly named for its idyllic location around an old Chestnut tree, this cabin exudes the quintessence of peaceful living and architectural elegance. It is a marriage of raw, untreated wood, and burnt lining, mimicking the appearance of a chestnut breaking free from its green shell. With a unique two-section design and an emphasis on natural materials, this piece of real estate creates a harmonious blend with the lush green surroundings.
Enjoy stunning views of the Štramberk tower, a symbol of local heritage, and embrace a lifestyle that’s compact, functional, and self-sufficient, drawing inspiration from the Wallachian architectural tradition.
Step into the Vipp Chimney House – a boutique hotel marvel that beautifully marries modern functionality with the charm of historical architecture. Found nestled in Copenhagen, Denmark, this unique property was masterfully revived by Studio David Thulstrup in 2019.
The structure features a 35-metre high chimney (approximately 115 feet), lending an exceptional quality to the city’s skyline. On entering, one is greeted by a striking U-shaped staircase, leading to a myriad of design wonders – from steel-framed glass doors to 4.5-metre high (nearly 15 feet) glass panels in bedrooms.
The genius of Thulstrup’s contemporary design is in the careful separation between old and new, creating a living space that is as edgy as it is comfortable.

Every detail, from the ceiling arc to the choice of wall and floor materials, works cohesively to maintain each element’s independence while achieving a harmonious spatial integration.
