Thoughtfully conceived architecture and harmonious living concepts reveal their full potential above all when the details are right. Window selection is one of those crucial details. But what makes a window truly beautiful? Slim frames are a defining characteristic. They appear more elegant than the heavy profiles commonly found on the market today. This applies equally to small windows and expansive glass surfaces with sliding doors.

Living with a View into the Valley
The Villa Talblick exemplifies just how dramatically window frames influence a building's overall impact. Built on a narrow plot with an elevation difference of nearly nine meters, this residence deliberately showcases its exceptional setting (design: architektur muench): While the architecture recedes toward the street, it opens generously toward the valley. Large glass surfaces direct the eye outward and dissolve the boundary between interior and landscape, creating a seamless spatial experience.

Noticeably Slimmer Than Market Competitors
The project features window systems from Austrian premium manufacturer Josko. Their frames are on average more than 12% slimmer than comparable current window systems on the market – while delivering exceptional thermal insulation. This advantage spans multiple materials, design lines, budget categories, and opening configurations.

A Frame That Doesn't Steal the Show
Particularly impressive is the symmetrical ONE window system: it achieves a frame sight width of just 52.5 mm – roughly the width of three fingers. In the living spaces of Villa Talblick, it functions like a picture frame that lets the view shine. The sliding door is 100% barrier-free – you step seamlessly into the outdoors without any threshold.

Beautiful and Healthy Living for the Future
Beyond the visual advantage, a narrower frame profile means more glass surface and consequently more natural daylight indoors – a central factor for our well-being and quality of life.
