Like a sculpture carved out of stone, the vision of a modern villa has come to reality. It abstracts and reinterprets classical rules: for an incomparable sense of living in the midst of nature.

This villa breaks with all traditions and forms an unrestrained contrast to the otherwise natural surroundings. Like an artistic installation on a podium made of natural stone, which at the same time forms the underground car park, lies the two-storey villa and clearly focuses on the forest as the main point of reference. The shape of the building is based on the idea of an L, which borders the hillside of the plot while providing a sheltered outdoor-space for the terrace.

A small gap forms the entrance. From the street, three exposed shapes of concrete blend strikingly and puristically, leaving no room for a glimpse inside. The ground floor is completely closed to the street, it dissolves to the forest by large glass elements, which flood the space with light, and produces an intense connection to the environment and nature. The upper floor forms a creative contrast to the ground floor. Above the transparent construction of glass and steel hovers an imposing, twisted concrete body, which ensures a high degree of privacy and protection. A few floor-to-ceiling window elements in the sleeping areas present targeted views into the forest. Large slats of steel are wrapped around the airspace in the middle of the house and create a connection of the levels. This is our vision of a sculptural, purist and modern villa that abstracts classical rules for an incomparable sense of living in the midst of nature.

Villa NEO - Sanctuary in the Forest 
Villa NEO forms a striking contrast with its otherwise untouched surroundings, breaking away from all traditional notions. Nestled in the woods, the two-story building rests on a pedestal made of natural stone, housing the underground garage. The ground floor, entirely sealed off from the street, gives no hint of what lies beyond: Expansive glass facades flood the living area with bright, natural light, providing a magnificent panoramic view that gets lost in the forest. This creates an intense, intimate connection with the natural environment. Above the transparent ground floor, composed of a combination of steel and glass, an imposing concrete structure rises, imparting a sense of privacy and security.

A serene outdoor oasis 
The generous glass facades with the fixed elements of minimal windows® merge the interior spaces with the surrounding forest, creating a peaceful, nature-immersed oasis. The flush-mounted elements can be moved on a single track and impress with their excellent functionality.

The fully concrete first floor, equipped with sliding windows from minimal windows®, presents a clear contrast to the open glass surfaces on the ground floor. The floor-to-ceiling glass fronts in the bedrooms once again offer views of the peacefully resting forest. The concrete appearance of the upper floor, giving the building a distinctly modern look, not only creates a visual contrast with the ground floor but also spatially separates the private living area from the publicly accessible spaces. Thus, all bedrooms are located on the upper floor, while the areas designated for communal living are situated on the ground floor, opening up to the spacious pool, garden, and the surrounding forest.
