This spacious, light-filled home, with an impressive ceiling height of 3 meters, was thoughtfully completed in 2020. It is a showcase of sustainable architecture, modular thinking, and spatial refinement – with natural materials, a smart layout, and stunning light thanks to the floor-to-ceiling glass façade.

Designed as a hybrid loft with an open layout, it features three freestanding ‘box’ units that house the kitchen, bathrooms, storage, and sanitary facilities. This creates fluid spaces between the boxes, which can be flexibly used as sleeping areas, home offices, or living spaces. The interior is understated yet rich: ash wood cabinets and a smoked oak floor bring warmth, while the concrete ceiling adds a bold contrast. The open character offers a sense of freedom without sacrificing coziness. COOKING The luxury, custom-built kitchen is seamlessly integrated and equipped with all modern conveniences: an induction cooktop, boiling-water tap, oven, and built-in fridge with freezer compartment. Open wooden shelves and subtle lighting create a calm yet stylish workspace – perfect for those who love cooking without compromising on aesthetics. SLEEPING & BATHING The bedrooms are intimate, peaceful spaces located at the rear of the home, with gentle transitions to the living, bathing, and working areas. Both bedrooms have direct access to their own bathrooms, adding comfort and privacy. The bathrooms feature sleek designs with walk-in showers, elegant vanity units, and natural materials. The toilets are separate and, like the rest of the interior, finished in the serene style of the home. OUTDOOR LIVING On the northwest side of the property lies a spacious 31 m² loggia – an outdoor area that feels like an extra living room. Thanks to the large glass sliding doors, you can fully open this space on warm days, allowing indoor and outdoor living to flow seamlessly together. The loggia is fully functional, equipped with electricity and a water connection. This makes it not only a delightful spot for relaxing or dining but also a practical extension of the living space for much of the year. Large window panels can be opened or closed as desired, letting you tailor your indoor-outdoor experience.
