Villa Luxembourg

Simplicity and comfort.

 

A harmonious year-round living concept for a villa in Luxembourg.

 

What began as an idea for a cozy "Stübli" developed into a holistic interior design concept that perfectly balances minimalism and comfort. In a modern new-build villa in Luxembourg, Bernd Gruber created a living environment that is deliberately oriented towards the four seasons – and unfolds its own unique qualities in each phase of the year.

The living area combines spacious tranquility with minimal use of materials and a cozy atmosphere.
Transitional area with sculptural furnishings.
Straight corridor area with a calm color and material concept.

A living environment in tune with nature.
The vision: a home that is warm and cozy in fall and winter, and minimalist and light in spring and summer. This principle was achieved through the targeted use of individually selected materials and custom-made design elements.

Purist kitchen design with natural stone kitchen island and subtle color scheme.

Dining area with sculptural wooden table and view of the green patio.

Compact dining area with a peaceful atmosphere.

As soon as you enter the spacious entrance hall, you can sense the special "art de vivre" that runs like a common thread through the entire building—atmospheric, clear, luxurious, and yet noticeably personal.

Generous glazing allows the changing seasons to flow directly into the bedroom. Naturally open and cozy.

A light-filled retreat that combines concentration and tranquility.

The interior design thrives on precise lines, the deliberate omission of decor, and the intelligent use of natural materials. Wood, stone, and textile surfaces are chosen to radiate depth, warmth, and quiet hospitality—without disturbing the visual tranquility.

Natural light meets natural materials.
Sculptural geometry and natural materials form a minimalist bathroom landscape.

This project was awarded the German Design Award in 2024 in the category Excellent Architecture – Interior Architecture – proof of the design depth and craftsmanship precision of this special house.

A haven of tranquility, with unobstructed views of nature and a delicate balance of stone, wood, and water.

The sauna opens with a slatted privacy screen that does not interfere with the natural incidence of light.

"We experience our home in tune with the rhythm of the seasons—and despite all its modernity, it's simply cozy!"

The wine cellar as an architectural retreat – minimalist, well thought-out, atmospheric.
