- JACQUELINE DANAM

ARCHITECT’S VILLA

MUNICH, GERMANY

Susanne Muhr and Volker Petereit of the award-winning Munich studio Lynx Architecture are the two women behind the clean contemporary lines; natural materials and finishes; and fluid, open-concept layout that characterise this modernist villa. The generous use of glass and oak helps to link the facade with the verdant surroundings, while a cantilever gives the cubic-inspired structure an aspect of lightness and a 'floating' effect. Inside, residents will enjoy the natural stone and oiled oak flooring, open fireplaces, a custom lighting scheme, an integrated audio system, and a Bulthaup kitchen. The villa also comes with eco-friendly features, such as a chemical-free swimming pool and a double carport with high-voltage charging stations.
