I am impressed by the German ability to integrate outdoor and indoor living space. At homes and hotels alike, fruitier and social life just flows onto patios and porches in a way that is more rare in the U.S. We could learn something from this. Also, it baffles me why more German architectural innovation isn't incorporated into American homes and businesses. Shutters that open and close automatically, windows that tip out or open casement-style, doors that blend effortlessly into walls, kitchens and baths that are elegant in function and design amaze me but never show up at Lowes or Home Depot. NOT a fan, however, of German lights switches we are always positioned outside the bathroom--where they can easily be switched off by passing children. I suppose this ensures the bathroom is lit when one enters but really? Who do you think is hiding in there?
