This project reflects ZEROR’s commitment to creativity, precision, and zero‑error execution, delivering an entertainment space that is immersive, vibrant, and designed for unforgettable social experiences.

This villa project was designed by ZEROR as a contemporary residential development that reflects elegance, privacy, and modern architectural clarity. The objective was to create a refined family residence that combines strong architectural form with a calm and welcoming outdoor environment.

The inspiration from Scandinavian aesthetics, emphasizing simplicity, functionality, and natural beauty. The design combines neutral color palettes—such as whites, grays, and soft pastels—with warm wooden accents to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere.

The design concept focuses on clean geometry, balanced proportions, and a seamless connection between built form and landscape. The villa massing is defined through simple volumes, large glazed openings, and controlled material contrasts, creating a modern yet timeless architectural expression suitable for its residential context.

Decorative elements include subtle textures, such as wool throws, linen curtains, and plush rugs, paired with green indoor plants to add life and freshness. The design integrates modern lighting fixtures with a focus on warm tones, balancing contemporary and traditional Nordic influences.

ARCHITECTURAL PLANNING & SPATIAL DESIGN

Villa Massing & Form

The villa is composed of clearly defined volumes arranged to create visual depth and architectural hierarchy. The solid and void relationship enhances both privacy and openness, giving the villa a strong yet elegant presence.

Entrance & Arrival Experience

The main entrance is emphasized through double-height glazing and subtle architectural lighting. The arrival sequence is designed to feel open and welcoming while maintaining a sense of exclusivity and privacy.

Outdoor Circulation & Courtyard

External circulation spaces are planned to flow naturally around the villa, with landscaped elements and palm trees softening the architecture. The courtyard and outdoor areas enhance the villa’s connection to nature and improve the overall living experience.

DESIGN DETAILS & FINISH STRATEGY

Color Palette

A neutral palette of light stone, warm beige, and soft grey tones defines the exterior, creating a calm and luxurious appearance that complements the surrounding landscape.

Materials & Textures

The façade features natural stone cladding, textured plaster finishes, and large glass panels. These materials were selected for durability, elegance, and their ability to age gracefully over time.

Glazing & Openings

Large floor-to-ceiling windows provide ample natural light and visual connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. Slim window profiles maintain a clean and modern aesthetic.

Lighting Strategy

Concealed architectural lighting is integrated into façade lines and landscape elements, highlighting the villa’s form during evening hours while maintaining a soft and sophisticated ambiance.
