The Cloud Villa is so named because of the grand central stair which connects the three floors of this 800m2 villa in Shanghai. It’s abstract cloud-like form celebrates fluid movement through space, while dividing the main entry from the main living space. As the main focal point of the villa, it optimistically reinforces domesticity as an act of unencumbered weightless living; in contrast to the restrictive bulk of the typical sprawling megalopolis in China. The cloud is an intimate form that only the occupants of the villa have the luxury of using on a daily basis. The main living space with its overscaled, nearly 8m high vaulted ceiling, gives the villa a sacrosanct quality. Contemporary in form, construction and materiality, the Cloud Villa’s stair is classical statement about the theater and intimacy of private and domestic life.

本計画では、道路に対して建物を約９ｍ後退させ、手前をオープンスペースとし、両脇と中央に、自然 樹形の植栽・草花が巧妙に配され、大きな建物でありながらも、街並みに対して圧迫感を与えず、周囲 の人々にも四季の変化を楽しんでもらえる潤いのある場を提供している。 外観はグレーで統一し、質感のある石材が前面の植栽群をさらに引き立て、さらに深い軒先が陰影を つくり出し、全体に趣のある佇まいを生み出している。エントランスは縦格子門扉の先にあり、緑が つながったアプローチが来客を迎えてくれる。

In diesem Bauernhaus, das vermutlich im 17. Jahrhundert erbaut wurde, fanden die neuen Eigentümer eine Holztreppe mit einem dunklen Teppich und einen Flurboden mit grünen Florentiner-Fliesen vor. Der Eingangsbereich, der zugleich zentraler Knotenpunkt im Haus ist, sollte modern und hell, aber gleichzeitig robust und pflegeleicht aufgewertet werden. Die indirekte LED Stufenbeleuchtung sorgt für stimmungsvolles Licht, das zugleich Trittsicherheit für Jung und Alt ermöglicht. Das Treppe-über-Treppe -System mit Naturstein von WERTHEBACH aus Siegen hat sowohl Flurboden, als auch die Holzstufen und die runden Wangen mit dem mattwarmen, satinierten Granit "Kashmir White" aus Indien ausgekleidet. Die Einheit im Stein verleiht dem Raum Ruhe und Größe - für Generationen.

Introducing Verdi Living - one of the classics from Atrium’s prestige collection. When built, The Verdi was heralded as the most luxurious display home ever built in Perth, the Verdi has a majestic street presence reminiscent of Europe’s most stately homes. It is a rare home of timeless elegance and character, and is one of Atrium Homes’ examples of commitment to designing and building homes of superior quality and distinction. For total sophistication and grand luxury, Verdi Living is without equal. Nothing has been spared in the quest for perfection, from the travertine floor tiles to the sumptuous furnishings and beautiful hand-carved Italian marble statues. From the street the Verdi commands attention, with its imposing facade, wrought iron balustrading, elegantly stepped architectural moldings and Roman columns. Built to the highest of standards by the most experienced craftsmen, the home boasts superior European styling and incorporates the finest materials, finishes and fittings. No detail has been overlooked in the pursuit of luxury and quality. The magnificent, light-filled formal foyer exudes an ambience of classical grandeur, with soaring ceilings and a spectacular Venetian crystal chandelier. The curves of the grand staircase sweep upstairs alongside the spectacular semi-circular glass and stainless steel lift. Another discreet staircase leads from the foyer down to a magnificent fully tiled cellar. Along with floor-to-ceiling storage for over 800 bottles of wine, the cellar provides an intimate lounge area to relax, watch a big screen TV or entertain guests. For true entertainment Hollywood-style, treat your guests to an evening in the big purpose-built home cinema, with its built-in screen, tiered seating and feature ceilings with concealed lighting. The Verdi’s expansive entertaining areas can cater for the largest gathering in sophistication, style and comfort. On formal occasions, the grand dining room and lounge room offer an ambience of elegance and refinement. Deep bulkhead ceilings with internal recess lighting define both areas. The gas log fire in the lounge room offers both classic sophistication and modern comfort. For more relaxed entertaining, an expansive family meals and living area, defined by gracious columns, flows around the magnificent kitchen at the hub of the home. Resplendent and supremely functional, the dream kitchen boasts solid Italian granite, timber cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and plenty of storage, including a walk-in pantry and appliance cupboard. For easy outdoor entertaining, the living area extends to an impressive alfresco area with built-in barbecue, perfect for year-round dining. Take the lift, or choose the curved staircase with its finely crafted Tasmanian Oak and wrought iron balustrade to the private upstairs zones, where a sitting room or retreat with a granite bar opens to the balcony. A private wing contains a library, two big bedrooms, a fully tiled bathroom and a powder room. For those who appreciate true indulgence, the opulent main suite - evocative of an international five-star hotel - will not disappoint. A stunning ceiling dome with a Venetian crystal chandelier adds European finesse, while every comfort has been catered for with quality carpets, formal drapes and a huge walk-in robe. A wall of curved glass separates the bedroom from the luxuriously appointed ensuite, which boasts the finest imported tiling and exclusive handcrafted marble.

Eine Villa in Meerbusch. Ein sehr großzügiger Eingangsbereich, eine etwas mickrige Treppe mit extremer Wendelung. All das inspirierte uns zu dieser Form, die der Treppe optisch ein größeres Gewicht gibt. Ausgeführt in Messing, handgeschmiedet und anschließend fein geschliffen und brüniert. Alle Linien sind konisch und in mehrere Richtungen gebogen.
