INTERIOR
The completely renovated 60's bungalow impresses with its timeless architectural language and high-quality materials as well as an open, light-flooded living concept. Modern boho chic meets the coolness and clear lines of the architectural language of the 60s. The prestigious atrium-style entrance area with a cozy lounge area offers a spacious, additional terrace area in front of the house. Upon entering this exceptional property, you feel a special sense of comfort, which is created in particular by the color concept in warm earth tones (clay-lime plaster) and the open, modern living concept. Decorative skylights throughout the house as well as many well thought-out custom-made fixtures made of high-quality solid wood round off this special and exclusive feeling of living. The entrance hall with a spacious built-in wardrobe and stylish reading niche or large panoramic window with integrated window sill for sitting impresses with walls accentuated in dove blue and many wooden fixtures made of dark oak. A spacious hallway illuminated by skylights leads to the 5 rooms on the first floor and ends in the spacious, extremely tasteful living/dining area with a modern anthracite wood-burning stove. Here you can celebrate lavish dinners with friends or enjoy the crackling fire of the charcoal stove and let your gaze wander through the floor-to-ceiling solid wood.
Here you can celebrate lavish dinners with friends or enjoy the crackling fire of the charcoal stove and let your gaze wander through the floor-to-ceiling solid wood windows into the greenery. Due to the orientation of the building, the sun moves around the building all day long, letting in the light and making the rooms bright and creating a very special, transparent feeling of living.
The stylish, open kitchen (Küchenplanungshaus Kröh) leaves nothing to be desired and makes the hearts of amateur and professional chefs beat faster. The custom-made designer kitchen impresses with its elegant color combination. The fundamentally purist solution with the material unit of fronts and worktop in shades of gray has been given a special accent by combining it with a brass-colored effect lacquer front. The brass accent is playfully repeated in the recessed handle strips. The high-quality electrical appliances from Miele and V-Zug underline the exclusive and extravagant character of this functional eye-catcher.
The other rooms on this level consist of a study/guest room, two further (bedroom) rooms and a master bathroom with separate guest WC. All rooms are flooded with light and tastefully designed. Many high-quality built-in wardrobes in the bathroom as well as in the living room and bedroom create additional storage space with a designer look.
The house has a two-thirds basement and, thanks to the existing ceiling heights and windows, offers enough light for additional expansion potential in the form of a separate work/guest or au pair area. In addition, there is already a large bathroom with spa character as well as a utility room and various cellar rooms on this level. The garden level could therefore be converted into an additional, fully-fledged living area.
Overall, the bungalow combines a high level of functionality and aesthetics, which is reflected in the simple elegance and quality of the built-in furniture, subtle colors and natural materials, as well as the careful arrangement of light and space. Every area of the house, from the stylish kitchen to the master bathroom and bedroom, is carefully and deliberately designed to create an atmosphere of calm and relaxation that underlines the philosophy of the house.


EXTERIOR
In the middle of an idyllic neighborhood, the architect's bungalow reveals itself as a showcase for the architectural beauty of the 1960s. The exterior design of the house also follows a minimalist aesthetic.
The characteristic flat roof and the open atrium area in front of the house are particularly noteworthy in terms of architectural style. Furthermore, the use of natural materials such as solid wood for window frames and doors brings warmth and texture into play and forms a contrast to the smooth surfaces and lines of the rest of the architectural language. The large window fronts and glass doors not only provide plenty of natural light, but also enable a visual connection between the surrounding nature and the design-oriented living area. The landscaping is well thought out, with a variety of plants that provide the house with beautiful, green visual axes all year round. The path to the garden and the terraces are laid out with natural stones, another dialog factor between nature and architecture.
This detached bungalow was built and inhabited in 1966 by the architect of the Bastwald estate; the house was completely renovated in 2020 and only shines in modern splendor.
