Villa W.
Long-format clinker bricks, bronze-colored aluminum slats, and expansive windows characterize the high-quality façade of a villa featuring an open floor plan and striking architectural form.
On the quiet edge of a wooded area in Hamburg, an exclusive new villa is being built on a plot surrounded by old oak trees, combining architectural clarity with sculptural expressiveness.
The villa features a distinctive L-shaped floor plan that allows for both functional zoning and an open, fluid sequence of spaces. The ground floor houses the living, dining, and kitchen areas—openly connected to one another and seamlessly linked to the outdoors through large glass surfaces. The floor plan is complemented by a guest area. A centrally located staircase leads along an open atrium to the upper floor, where the private retreat with bedrooms and associated bathrooms is located.
The building’s exterior is defined primarily by its high-quality, elongated clinker brick facade, which shimmers in shades of red and black. The facade surfaces, which partially fold inward, lend the villa’s clean-lined form a sculptural depth, making the building appear as if cast from a single mold. Another defining facade element is the delicate slats made of bronze-colored anodized aluminum. They contrast with the solid clinker and, together with the large-scale glass elements, create an interplay of light, shadow, and transparency.
The garage is formally derived from the main structure and is entirely clad in bronze-colored metal panels, allowing it to blend harmoniously into the overall volume and consistently extend the architectural design.
