Paul Richardson shares his journey from a childhood fascination with lighthouses in Hamburg to creating boutique accommodations in Germany. He and his wife, Heike, transformed an abandoned lighthouse on Usedom Island into an 'extreme boutique hotel,' after discovering a demand for such unique stays. Their subsequent projects include a lighthouse at Dagebüll and a renovated water tower near Berlin, each reflecting their passion for unique experiences and beautiful, remote locations, appealing to modern travelers seeking adventure.
"All my holidays were spent...going to the lighthouse - it was my favourite place. They held a magnetic attraction, offering a haven of security, but also adventure."
"I told the mayor that I wanted to turn it into a place to stay - what I called an 'extreme boutique hotel' for two. We opened the following year and soon realized there was a demand."
