A mighty monolith overlooks Berlin. Villa Meyer stands tall. Its trapezoidal shape is striking. It resembles a boulder in a glacial landscape. This modern single-family home is unlike its neighbours.
Villa Meyer is a testament to modern design. It’s located in Grunewald a historical suburb. The building’s design respects the sun’s path. Its steep sloping roof minimizes shading of the garden. Daylight plays a crucial role. The architects created an almost square floor plan. A glass roof atrium is at its centre. The surrounding rooms form a unique habitable topography.
The faade is covered in specially made stoneware tiles. Small cream-white tiles create a mountain-like effect. Each tile reflects light differently. Below the tiles a glass faade ascends. It becomes more transparent near the garden. The most unusual feature is the sloping dark green tartan roof. It’s the first of its kind in Germany. Vertical and horizontal surfaces are covered in EPDM granulate. The contrast between tiles green slopes and glass creates a stunning architectural mountainscape.
