Sharp rooflines, deep window openings and a measured mix of stone, render and timber set the tone from the street. The modern cubist villa reads in clear volumes, with black window frames cutting across the white wall surfaces and a natural stone facade accent giving the exterior more weight at ground level. The effect is calm rather than soft: straight edges, large panes and a sequence of materials that keep changing as you move around the house.

Stone, render and timber in one clear composition

Natural stone is used where the eye lands first. It forms a solid band in the facade and returns in the garden as a built planter and a masonry outdoor fireplace on the terrace. Against that stonework, the white render and timber details pull the massing apart visually, so the house does not read as one closed block. The contrast is strongest around the entrance and terrace side, where the stone, glass and wood meet in short, direct lines.

The garden and terrace follow the same language. Paving is laid in large, straight-edged formats, and the planting stays close to the geometry of the house. A long water feature adds another line to that composition, with a glass edge that catches the light and keeps the surface visually light. It is a setting built from hard materials and clean thresholds rather than ornament.

A modern cubist villa designed for the plot and the light

What makes the modern cubist villa stand out is the way the volumes step back and forward while the glazing stays large and open. Black frames sharpen the openings, and the low rooflines keep the profile grounded. From different angles the house changes rhythm: a solid stone face, then a recessed glazed corner, then a timber-lined detail that marks an overhang or entrance zone. The whole composition feels built from a few clear moves.

On the sun side, sun-shading glass is used to temper the light entering the house. The same practical thinking appears on the flat roof, where solar panels are placed out of sight. They sit on frames that angle them toward the sun, so the roof remains visually quiet while still carrying the technical equipment needed for the house. The result is a roofscape with little visual clutter.

Inside, doors and ceiling keep the ground floor open

The ground floor holds the main rooms in one level: kitchen, living room, office, bedroom and bathroom. That arrangement keeps daily movement short and direct, with the more private rooms close to the central living areas. A partial basement provides a technical room and storage, so the main floor can stay free of equipment and practical overflow. The plan is compact in its logic, not in its feeling.

An acoustic ceiling runs across the ground floor and is described as smooth, tight and seamless. In the rooms below it, that matters more than appearance alone. It softens the scale of the spaces and helps the large open rooms feel less echo-prone. Between the living room and the kitchen, and between the living room and the office, sliding interior doors allow the plan to open or close depending on the moment. They save space, but they also let the rooms shift from one larger zone into smaller, quieter parts.

Fireplaces, oak and a direct route upstairs

Two gas fireplaces bring a visible centre to the living areas. They sit within the layout rather than at its edge, so the rooms around them feel more anchored. The oak block staircase becomes the main vertical move in the house. Its solid timber read gives the transition to the first floor a clear material identity, different from the plastered surfaces and glass downstairs. Three bedrooms, a bathroom and a toilet are placed upstairs, keeping the upper level straightforward and uncluttered.

Near the entrance and terrace, timber details add another layer without breaking the overall discipline of the design. Vertical wood elements and a light overhang frame the approach, while the hard paving continues the same rectilinear order seen in the garden. It is a house where the route from front path to terrace is traced by materials as much as by walls.

The terrace extends the architecture into the garden

The outdoor spaces do not read as an afterthought. The terrace paving is generous and laid in large rectangular slabs, which lets the house settle into its setting without visual noise. A built-in stone planter and the masonry outdoor fireplace give the terrace weight, while the linear water feature introduces a reflective strip that breaks up the paved surface. For anyone looking for a garden with water feature, this is the clearest gesture in the project.

Seen together, the exterior, terrace and garden form one controlled sequence. Stone appears at the facade, repeats in the planter and returns in the fireplace; timber marks the entry and the transition points; glass opens the house toward the garden. The result is not about decoration. It is about how the materials meet, how the lines continue outward, and how the house holds its own shape while opening to the green edges around it.

More than one route through the house

Because the main living program is already on the ground floor, the home can be used in a straightforward way. The bedroom and bathroom are close to the living areas, and the office sits within the same level, so everyday use does not depend on the upper floor. That layout supports a quieter way of living inside the house, with the staircase and the sliding doors giving just enough separation where it is needed.

For readers interested in interior with sliding doors solutions, this project shows how those doors work as part of the plan rather than as a decorative addition. They hold views when open and cut them when closed. Combined with the acoustic ceiling and the broad glazed openings, they define the interior by movement, sound and light instead of by fixed partitions.
