Villa Cologne
Understated elegance, tranquillity and openness
The Flare
Villa Cologne
Clarity, tranquillity and openness. The architecture creates a balance between modern minimalism and a cosy atmosphere. Generous transparency and a flowing transition between interior and exterior spaces are central components. The building offers a sense of security without isolating itself from its surroundings. The centre piece is the atrium, which allows maximum light to flood in and makes the villa shine from the inside out.

Vision &
Concept
The design concept is based on the idea of a continuous spatial experience: interior and exterior spaces merge into one, conveyed by large-format glazing, clear sightlines and homogeneous materials. Warm white plastered surfaces, light stone floors and warm wood create a harmonious interplay.
A challenge
The challenge was to ensure privacy, comfort and energy efficiency despite the open, transparent architecture. The precise integration of large, frameless sliding windows, thermal separation and the exact execution of flowing transitions between interior and exterior spaces were achieved through the use of Venuro 3 max. The entire frame is made of fibreglass, ensuring impressive thermal values and durability.
Elegant solution
A clear spatial layout has created a structured openness: the living and dining area opens onto the terrace and garden with the floor-to-ceiling, frameless Venuro 3 max sliding window, while adjoining rooms and functional areas are discreetly set back.
Clear lines convey calmness and openness
The building was constructed using solid construction methods with highly insulated wall structures. Custom-made, flush-fitting Venuro 3 max sliding windows bring the transparency and lightness that characterise the design. Inside and outside lose their boundaries, merging into a spacious landscape of light, views and materials.
The result is a house that combines modernity, clarity and comfort – a place of tranquillity, openness and understated elegance.
