Now you can achieve a custom-designed timber frame home that meets the highest standards of sustainable living with an effortless turnkey solution

BRINGING YOUR DREAM TO LIFE

Designed by WeberHaus UK partner Urbancurve Architecture and led by Nick Blunt, Villa Blunt turns innovative ideas into a luxurious, custom-built home.

The building, which showcases architectural creativity paired with German engineering excellence, has unique proportions - it is 25m long and 9m deep.

This design allows the interior spaces to draw in maximum illumination from both sides. On the upper floor, wooden rods provide rhythm to the façade and counterbalance the building's length through their vertical orientation, creating the impression that the first floor is floating.

Ahead of the curve

London-based architecture and ideas studio, CAN, extended this home to make it suitable for the needs of a growing family, placing an emphasis on natural materials and a unique approach to design. The resulting renovation turned the once-disconnected ground floor of this east London terrace into an open-plan kitchen and dining area spilling into the garden through a bespoke curved window and oversized glazed door.
