This villa is conceived as more than just a luxurious home, it’s a carefully choreographed experience. From the street, it commands attention with its bold, sculptural presence, clean lines, dramatic scale, and a sense of quiet monumentality. Inside, the atmosphere shifts, as expansive spaces become warm and inviting through layered textures, natural light, and refined material choices. The design strikes a balance between openness an dintimacy, elegance and comfort.
Stepping into the backyard, the tone transforms once again. Lush landscaping, playful elements, and integrated amenities create a whimsical, retreat-like setting, a private escape designed for both leisure and delight. The project reimagines luxury by guiding visitors through a journey,from grandeur to warmth, from sculptural form to immersive experience.
This villa is designed as a seamless blend of resort-style luxury and functional living, with fluid zoning that supports both family life and high-end entertaining. The architecture makes a bold statement with a travertine-clad façade, a glowing backlit onyx wall, floating steppingstones, and a serene black water mirror. Signature features include a multi-tiered pool deck with a glass-edged infinity pool, a rooftop basketball court with glass flooring, and expansive glazing that promotes indoor-outdoor living. Inside, the layout includes 7 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, 7 powder rooms, formal and family living areas, dual kitchens, a nanny’s room, 3 staff rooms, and a panoramic lift. The basement offers a cinema, poker lounge, bowling alley, gym, spa with indoor pool and ice bath, hair salon, and a 12-car garage with a maintenance area. Outdoor amenities include a second pool with a kids' zone, BBQ and bar area, jacuzzi with TV, sunken seating, a rooftop lounge, playground, and a private office with separate access. Strategic design moves—like cutting back the plot for natural light and layering spaces with purpose—combine to deliver a home that is both sculpturally striking and deeply livable.
