The inner garden - A house of stone, light and water.
The villa in Binningen stands for an architecture that is restrained and yet unfolds a strong presence. The house combines natural materials, generous spatial volumes, and a harmonious interplay of light and water. At its center is the idea of an "inner garden" - a place of tranquility and openness that brings nature into everyday life. The living and dining area forms the heart of the house: flooded with light, fluidly organized, and with a direct connection to the Asian-inspired garden with atrium and pond.Thoughtful architecture and high-quality materialsThe clear lines, the natural stone façade, and the use of Travertin Silver give the house a timeless, elegant appearance. Large-format Sky-Frame windows open up the interior spaces to the surroundings and create a connection between the living area, garden, and roof landscape. The property is also convincing in terms of functionality: a designer kitchen with high-quality appliances, a built-in Berbel extractor, and Quooker, a barrier-free ground floor, perfect floor plan flow, and a high technical standard - from the earth probe heat pump to the photovoltaic preparation.Private retreat areas and personal withdrawalThe master area on the ground floor offers a stylish refuge with a dressing room, en-suite bathroom, and a view of the pond. Two further bedrooms on the upper floor also have their own dressing rooms and bathrooms. The open gallery connects the levels and leads further to the sauna - from there directly out onto the roof terrace.Rooftop terrace with pool and panoramic viewA special highlight is the extensive rooftop terrace, which creates an exclusive level of withdrawal with a pool, lounge, and an unobstructed view of Basel. Light, air, and water determine the atmosphere - from the morning brightness to the warm light play in the evening. The slope was used architecturally to create maximum privacy and a unique sense of space.Video - experience the atmosphere of the houseThe supplementary video shows the architectural concept in motion: the play of light, the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, and the soothing dialogue between water and nature. It conveys the emotional quality of the house and makes the special atmosphere immediately tangible.https://youtu.be/OkZTusHbzXM?si=DwYM50SIuHXhm_-e
