Modern villa with smart home design is proper description for this modern home located on the coast of southern Spain. Take a look how 123DV office created luxury home of the 21st century.
A Netherlands-based architecture office specialized in designing modern villas, 123DV, created “Cool Blue Villa”, a holiday villa located in Marbella, Spain.
Marbella is coastal city in southern
Spain, located between Málaga and the Gibraltar Strait which makes it
one of the most popular tourist cities of the Costa del Sol.
Smart home design
Owners wanted to make sure they will get some privacy on their weekend getaways, so architects started with closed, “defensive” design on the street. And kept it there.
Even though one would expect
this approach defining the whole home, rest of this modern villa is open
as much as it gets. “After the first surprising element – the stepping
stones in the water – you enter complete spatial openness.
A
transparent look is created by applying glass and long sight lines. The
water and its reflection in different locations enhance this effect.”
Owner’s initial wish was to live right next to the sea. Since the plot was up the street from the beach, architects brought water to the villa.
Huge
modern swimming pool was placed next to the house while glass wall both
on the ground floor and first floor opened interiors towards the pool
and the sea down the street.
Special attention was given
to the roof: “On the roof you can experience maximum freedom: using the
outside shower while gazing at the sea.”
Interior design
Speaking of materials used in this modern villa, “smooth, hygienic materials with a cool, clean look and feel were combined with warm, organic materials, like wood and natural stone.” Some of the focal points across the interior are tailor made kitchen island made out of solid Corian, a fireplace in the living room and leather seat which transforms into a home theater when needed.
Besides beautiful living room
with kitchen and home cinema, Cool Blue Villa offers 6 bedrooms, a wine
cellar and gym with sauna as well. All devices in the house can be
controlled with smartphones and tablets, making this modern villa, a
smart home.
