Located on the outskirts of Stuttgart-Vaihingen on a hillside, the villa Casa Murano appears
as a cubic, three-storey
building with a plastic articulated facade. The
effect of the forward and backward jumps in the facade is
enhanced by the alternation of white
plaster and recessed black elements.
The inside and outside
facilities clearly show a continuation of the design
principle. Thus, the ground floor
is divided by height as graduations in the
soil and suspended ceilings. In
order to achieve a harmonious whole, had the architects make all
furniture elements measured. A spatial relation between
ground and upper floors in the kitchen
is also produced
by an air space above
the kitchen area. This is also where a four-meter high chandelier
from Murano glass
elements is suspended. Thus, the villa got its
name: Casa Murano.
