Outstanding top-class architecture in a green pine park by the Baltic Sea. The villa has received several architectural awards for excellence and gained worldwide fame in 2008 immediately after its construction, receiving the international Architecture Award from "The Chicago Athenaeum", which is the most prestigious award for outstanding buildings in the world. This work by architect Meinhard von Gerkan (by gmp.de · von Gerkan, Marg and Partners Architects) fits perfectly into the environment, with its fifteen-meter-high viewing platform offering a view of the surroundings and the southern balconies of the villa, which are directed toward the villa's central U-shaped volume, where the principle of contrast creates an additional refreshing tension also in the villa's interior.

The villa's architect Meinhard von Gerkan is the founder of the largest German architectural firm gmp.de. gmp.de is also one of the most recognized architectural firms in the world, having created a series of architectural masterpieces – from breathtaking stadiums, airport and railway station projects to unique private homes and even megacity projects across the globe.

The villa has three types of movement options, namely, movement is divided into arteries – a system of sloped ramps, plus there are stairs and an elevator.

Upon entering the house, the visitor arrives in the vestibule. The central ramp connects the entrance hall with the mezzanine levels. Such a passage through the villa can provide a true surprise, as going up and down the gaze is drawn to both the interior and the exterior of the building. The skylight-glazed atrium offers a diverse scenography – a shimmering atmosphere of natural lighting. The two-level division of the living room is marked by a sculptural "S"-shaped balcony, while fireplaces are installed on both levels of the living room (gas and wood). A high-tech sound system ensures acoustic comfort in every part of the villa. The second level of the living room is reached via steps embedded in the eastern façade wall.

The first level of the living room is surrounded by a spacious terrace, while on the upper level, the façade continues with a small, irregularly shaped balcony, intended for breakfast and late dinner serving. Meanwhile, the private area with 3 bedrooms and dressing rooms is located on the upper floors on the western side of the house. The professionally equipped kitchen area is connected to two dining zones, one for dining by the fireplace in the dining room, the other ideal for breakfast. The kitchen with a Bulthaup b3 built-in kitchen system features anodized aluminum and warm Mexican rosewood fronts, stainless steel surfaces, and is equipped with a Gaggenau teppanyaki grill and steam oven, electric cooktop, dishwasher, refrigerator, and wine cooler.
