Als ich diesen L\u00f6wen zum ersten Mal vom gegen\u00fcberliegenden Dach aus sehe, ahne ich noch nicht, wessen Haus er bewacht.<br \/>\nIn der malerischen Altstadt eines h\u00fcbschen St\u00e4dtchens an der Ostk\u00fcste der Insel, hinter der klassischen Fassade eines Hauses aus dem 18. Jahrhundert lebt der bekannte Londoner Interiordesigner Christophe Gollut. Im Entree des Hauses steht ein gro\u00dfer antiker Globus und bereitet einen auf das vor, was einen erwartet, denn es gibt eine ganze Welt zu entdecken. Die Fassade mag klassisch anmuten, die R\u00e4ume zeugen aber von Einfl\u00fcssen aus aller Welt. Jedes Zimmer ist in einem anderen Stil eingerichtet und Zimmer gibt es viele. Ein Raum f\u00fchrt in den n\u00e4chsten, Treppen f\u00fchren einen immer weiter und weiter. Einem Labyrinth \u00e4hnlich, fast k\u00f6nnten sie M.C. Escher als Vorbild f\u00fcr die unendliche Treppe gedient haben. Jeder Raum \u00fcberw\u00e4ltigt die Sinne mit Farbe und Textur.<br \/>\nMit dem ihm eigenen Humor bemerkt Christophe: `Freshly painted in 1981\u00b4. Ein Anstrich, der genau 40 Jahre gebraucht hat, um genau die zauberhafte Patina zu entwickeln, die man sich charmanter nicht w\u00fcnschen k\u00f6nnte und die nur die Zeit so entwickeln kann.<br \/>\nDie Dachterrasse bildet den Abschluss. Es ist Fr\u00fchling auf Gran Canaria, die vielleicht sch\u00f6nste Zeit auf der Insel. Alles ist gr\u00fcn und bl\u00fcht. \u00dcppig fliessen gro\u00dfe Wellen Bougainville in leuchtendem rot \u00fcber die W\u00e4nde. Der Panoramablick wandert \u00fcber den Ort mit seinen engen Gassen, der Kirche, bis hin zu der mit \u00fcber 30 Metern h\u00f6chsten Palme der kanarischen Inseln im benachbarten Park. F\u00fcr Christophe ist der Blick `almost perfect\u00b4, f\u00fcr mich ist er ohne Einschr\u00e4nkung perfekt!<br \/>\n<a href=\"#english\">english<\/a><a name=\"back\"><\/a><br \/>\n<span

view. When I see this lion for the first time from the opposite roof, I have no idea whose house he guards.<br \/>\nIn the picturesque old town of a pretty little viilage on the east coast of the island, behind the classical fa\u00e7ade of an 18th-century house, lives the well-known London interior designer Christophe Gollut. In the entrance of the house, a large antique globe prepares you for what awaits you. For there is a whole world to discover. The fa\u00e7ade may look classical, but the rooms bear witness to influences from all over the world. Each room is decorated in a different style and there are countless rooms. One room leads into the next, stairs take you further and further. It almost seems a labyrinth, it could almost have served M.C. Escher as a model for the infinite staircase. Each room overwhelms the senses with colour and texture.<br \/>\nWith his characteristic humour, Christophe remarks: &#8218;Freshly painted in 1981&#8216;. A coat of paint that has taken exactly 40 years to develop the enchanting patina that is more charming than anyone could wish for and which only time can develop.<br \/>\nThe roof terrace is the final touch. It is springtime in Gran Canaria, perhaps the most beautiful season on the island. Everything is green and in bloom. Large waves of lush bougainvillea rush in bright red over the walls. The panoramic view wanders over the village with its narrow alleys, the church, up to the tallest palm tree in the Canary Islands, at over 30 metres, in the neighbouring park. For Christophe, the view is the &#8218;most perfect\u2019; for me it is perfect without reservation! <a name=\"english\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"#back\">pictures<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Auf der Balustrade der Dachterrasse ruht ein steinerner L\u00f6we in der Sonne und wacht \u00fcber Haus und Aussicht.
