Residential
Town Villa Berlin Grunewald
The choice of materials emphasises exclusivity and a close connection to nature.
For 15 years, the family lived in a single-storey house with a hip roof and an interior layout that felt rather cellular, and now, following the renovation, the home offers greater flexibility and privacy while also making full use of the potential of this ideally situated plot on the edge of Berlin’s Grunewald district. Characteristic of the city villa are façades in Dietfurt limestone from one of the oldest quarries in southern Germany, along with brickwork from Belgium rendered with a light lime mortar.
Originally built as military accommodation with a low roof and many small rooms, the Berlin bungalow was transformed into a modern three-storey villa.
Generous skylights and floor-to-ceiling windows allow daylight to flood the rooms, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere, while the architecture sets up a play of light and shadow that brings the natural surroundings indoors.
Natural materials and high-quality surfaces define the character of the home, with the choice of materials underscoring both exclusivity and a close connection to nature. The wooden planks in particular stand out: their special cut creates fine, straight lines that lend the rooms an elegant yet calm structure, and with an impressive length of almost three metres, these planks represent exclusive quality from Switzerland and a symbol of discerning craftsmanship.
