The house shown is an impressive urban villa in Hamburg, characterized by its clear lines and harmonious proportions. The villa combines classic style with modern elements, conveying a timeless elegance. Large windows provide ample daylight inside and structure the facade with their symmetrical arrangement.
A special highlight of the villa is the facade, which is entirely clad with Wittmunder bricks (sorting 198). These bricks are reminiscent of traditional ring kiln bricks and peat-fired bricks, giving the building a rustic yet sophisticated appearance. The slightly rough texture and irregular surface structure of the bricks, resulting from the firing process, add visual depth and impart a pleasant tactile quality and robustness to the facade.
The brick facade displays an impressive palette of warm earth tones, ranging from deep red through various browns to dark, almost black nuances. This variety of colors is created by the different temperatures and atmospheric conditions during the firing process. The varying shades and fine differences between the stones create a lively and dynamic appearance, revealing new facets depending on the time of day and lighting conditions.
The urban villa blends harmoniously into its historic and upscale surroundings. It combines traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design, respecting the historic architecture of the neighborhood. The brick facade is a central element of the overall concept, giving the building a unique character that is both aesthetically and functional.
