Zen Stuttgart 'lightbox' home asks for €3.5m

This monumental Stuttgart house mixes Bauhaus, futuristic and zen architecture with a light-drenched brutalist interior.

The Baden-Wûrttemberg villa was built in 2000 and appears warehouse-like at the front thanks to its windowless facade. Its box-shaped gallery interior has towering ceilings and a floor-to-ceiling glass wall that peeks onto trees and foliage while flooding its cavernous volumes with light.

There are clean lines and a palette of buffed, bare concrete walls and grey tiled stone flooring across three storeys of the five-bedroom home, including its master bedroom and roof terrace.

It has grittier-looking perforated steel plate flooring in the entrance hall and wire cord staircase balustrades. In the kitchen, a burnt-orange island injects a playful pop of colour.

Lush views of the mature foliage that encloses its garden can be seen from most rooms in the German property, which is up sale for €3.5m with Baden-Wûrttemberg Sotheby’s International Realty.
