Villa Mahler

Villa Mahler is a minimal home located in Stuttgart, Germany, designed by Philipp Architekten. The L-shaped structure merges architecture and interior design into a cohesive and harmonious whole, offering a space that is both expressive and restrained. At its core is a five-meter-high living wing, where the kitchen, dining, and living areas come together in a single open space. Natural light streams through floor-to-ceiling sliding windows and a fully glazed façade, casting dynamic patterns of light and shadow that change with the time of day and season. The raw material palette of concrete, steel, and timber gives the space a powerful yet understated character.

Handcrafted furniture and custom textiles complement the architecture. Eichkorn Design’s charred timber and metal pieces, created with precise craftsmanship in the Black Forest, are integral to the interior. Every element, from the furniture to the textiles, is uniquely designed for the villa, reinforcing its bespoke nature. The terrace extends from the living area and leads to a densely wooded garden with mature trees, seamlessly connecting the indoor and outdoor environments. The villa’s private wing houses guest accommodations, personal retreats, and a library.

Bedrooms feature custom-designed scorched oak bedframes and solid bronze bedside tables, paired with floor-to-ceiling windows that open onto the garden. The exterior façade is defined by its interplay of materials. Facing the street, the villa presents an opaque surface of charred wood slats and exposed concrete, offering privacy while subtly integrating into its surroundings. Toward the garden, the design opens with panoramic windows and sliding doors, creating a fluid transition between inside and outside.
