A countryside villa designed in a minimalist style — a perfect example of an equally engaging exterior from every possible vantage point.
The building plays on the optical illusions of human perception, creating dynamic variations in the layout of its flat roofs — a feature that becomes especially evident when viewing the realistic visualizations. The strict geometry, carefully selected finishing palette, and minimal contour lighting on the overhangs collectively evoke a bold, futuristic architectural character.
The villa is packed with technically unconventional solutions. In this overview, we aim to highlight the key ones:
1. The entrance unit is seamlessly integrated into the overall exterior. A designer pivot door made of black tempered glass spans an impressive 1.5 meters in width.
2. In the final execution, the cladding finishes transition directly into the edge of the jumbo-format glazing (at the time of design, the largest glass dimensions available for procurement were used). A standout feature is the panoramic sliding system with a sash measuring 6 by 2 meters. The floor-to-ceiling glazing reaches a maximum height of 3.2 meters and extends up to 6 linear meters.
3. Geometrically proportioned overhangs contribute to the harmony of clean, slender lines. Most notably, an 8-meter cantilever in the double-height zone dramatically emphasizes the top section of the structure.
4. A visual blend of exterior and interior is achieved by aligning outdoor spaces with the finished floor level of the ground floor, as well as by extending a section of the overhang from outside to inside across the main façade.
5. The flat roofs are covered using an unconventional combination of torch-applied and membrane waterproofing systems.
6. For the villa’s exterior cladding, the material of choice was flexible ceramic by Phomi — a product that has recently been gaining popularity.
Despite its highly technical core and carefully planned layout, the house presents itself — thanks to its exterior solutions — as a genuine work of art. Indeed, this is what modern countryside living in the 21st century looks like.
