Villa Neo.
This villa embodies the vision of sculptural, minimalist, and modern architecture that reinterprets classical principles and offers a unique living experience surrounded by nature.
Nestled in the heart of a 2,300-square-meter wooded property near Hamburg stands a villa that breaks with traditional conventions and blazes new trails with its sculptural architecture.
The villa stands in stark contrast to the surrounding nature, like an art installation set on a natural stone base that forms the underground garage. The two-story structure is clearly oriented toward the forest and follows the design concept of an L-shape that nestles against the slope, creating a sheltered interior space for the terrace. From the street side, the ground floor presents a minimalist appearance with three striking forms of exposed concrete that offer no view into the interior.
The spaces open up toward the forest through large glass panels that capture light and create a strong connection to the surroundings. The upper floor provides a design contrast with an imposing, twisted concrete structure set atop a transparent glass-and-steel framework, which ensures privacy while directing the view toward the forest. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer focused views of the natural landscape.
At Villa Neo, steel slats wrap around the building’s structure and harmoniously connect the different levels, while an atrium in the center of the house provides additional natural light.
