The villa district in Grünwald is notorious - only those who can really afford it can live here. The architecture firm Falk von Tettenborn was commissioned to plan a villa for a real estate developer for his own use. The design on the 1,450 m² plot is very simple in principle, explains the architect: "Basically, the villa consists of four buildings, which are distributed around the site like boxes of different sizes. The areas of use are thus clearly identifiable: a residential building, an office building, a pool house and, on the northern boundary, the entrance to the underground garage.

The building cubes with their different functions are clearly separated from each other. Fanned out, they open to the south-west like the fingers of a hand at an acute angle to each other. To the right in the east is the residential building, the only two-storey structure. This is accessed via the central square entrance area, which also creates a connection to the middle wing with the client's office. The pool house is located to the west - separated from the street only by a narrow path and a wall. With its closed quartzite façade, the swimming pool hall protects it from outside views, opens up to the garden and shields it from the street. There is also a small wellness area with a steam bath in the pool house. The buildings are reinforced concrete structures, the base is clad in Vals quartzite. In the basement of the residential building there is an underground garage, technical rooms and a granny apartment for guests - not forgetting a wine cellar. High-quality materials and luxury were used in the interior design of the house. On the upper floor there are bedrooms and bathrooms for the parents and two children. On the first floor, you first enter a large entrance area, the floor of which is made of ceramic slips at the client's request. Long oak floorboards have been laid in the living area, while solid Nagelfluh slabs were used for the kitchen worktops, the mantelpiece and the shelf plinth in the living area. Each individual bathroom and WC is fitted with a different fine natural stone and matching sanitary facilities. A platform staircase connects the first floor with the upper floor. The huge steel and glass gas fireplace is the focal point of the living room, while the kitchen fittings including the kitchen unit are custom-made and harmonize with the other brown tones in the room. The living area is floor-to-ceiling glazed with sliding doors. From here, you can access the garden via the terrace with its large concrete slabs.
