Villa Libeskind It is one of these magic moments: You observe an art object and delve into a new world. The Libeskind Villa is such a piece of art, a walk-in sculpture with its own unique atmosphere. For the first time, Daniel Libeskind has devised a home which can be erected anywhere in the world. Thirty regionally exclusive Villas will be distributed worldwide by proportion GmbH in Berlin.
“This is really the first time I’ve taken on the issue of doing something which is a limited artistic edition of a new space, of a new way of living. It’s really designing a total work of art,” says the architect Libeskind.
Indeed, the Villa invites you to contemplate not only its exterior, but also its interior. The Villa’s asymmetrical, tapered silhouette evokes a crystal. Rejecting traditional rules of symmetry, it bears the distinctive signature of Libeskind, who is lauded for ambitious projects such as the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto and the Denver Art Museum. The zinc façade is reminiscent of the Jewish Museum in Berlin. Inside, the Villa offers an uninterrupted connection to nature through its wide glass expanses. The light-flooded rooms present themselves purely, yet the first impression is deceiving: Libeskind excels in uncompromising, modern design but simultaneously meets the requirements of everyday life.
