In Germany, an exclusive residence embodies the harmonious fusion of modernity and tradition. Here, the use of stone beautifully complements a sleek and modern design.
With simple geometric volumes, sophisticated contrasts, and meticulous attention to detail, this villa showcases a unique personality, which bears the signature of Wellie Architekten Partner studio. Nestled in greenery, the residence gracefully integrates into its surroundings, thanks to the selection of materials like stone and the low height of the single-level structure. An interplay of solids and voids, with floor-to-ceiling windows alternating with walls clad in stone, gives the entire property an elegant ambiance. Cozy and intimate spaces transform into open and airy environments through expansive glass windows, blurring the boundary between indoor and outdoor and inviting a continuous dialogue with their surroundings.
However, it is the stone that stands out as the project's most distinctive feature, lending the dwelling an authentic and welcoming appearance: the claddings in Geopietra® manufactured stone, a blend of design and craftsmanship, add a genuine touch of sophistication to the villa. The model is Botticino with round-shaped stones and an installation with joints that highlights the stone's profile. The stone's color, ranging from warm to cool tones, creates a fascinating contrast with the white surfaces of the flat roof and window frames, while also blending seamlessly with the surrounding landscape, offering a visual harmony.
Inside, the stone continues to tell its story, enveloping the spaces with character. In the veranda, transformed into a cozy sitting area, stone walls alternate with glass windows, enhancing the space's connection with the outdoor garden. The stone cladding of the recessed fireplace accentuates the feeling of intimacy and warmth in the room. But Geopietra®'s charm doesn't end inside. Outside, the stone-clad walls feature the impressive fireplace that dominates the villa and adds dynamism to the architectural ensemble. The manufactured stone also appears on the perimeter and load-bearing walls, which, near the living area, create a cozy and small outdoor green space.
This architectural project represents a harmonious balance between modernity and tradition, where the use of stone combines with contemporary design elements, all set within a well-maintained natural context.
