The lakeside previous Director’s villa was built in the early 20th century and is located directly in front of a marina with a panoramic view of Lake Zürich, within walking distance to Zürich city and many restaurants. The area attracts an affluent international audience with its green areas along the lake, density of restaurants, and proximity to the city of Zürich.
House of Bennet was commissioned to refurbish the villa and the vision was to let the panoramic view prevail and act as both art and background view. The influx of daylight minimized the presence and need for curtains, and gentle lake related colours created a rhythm throughout the villa.
