Looking inward.
Open to nature.
Villa Aura is a 1500 m² private residence designed by ARTS BURO. The architecture is arranged around an inner courtyard: the kitchen and living room open onto the garden, while family and guest rooms retain their privacy. This layout connects daily life with the landscape and gives the contemporary villa its quiet character.
Life at your own pace.
Panoramic glazing connects the shared spaces on the ground floor with the courtyard. The garden extends the living room and kitchen, bringing views of the landscape into everyday life. A pool, gym and squash court complete the residence, with spaces for gathering, exercise and quiet rest under one roof.
Stone. Timber. Bronze.
Villa Aura’s facades combine natural stone, thermally modified timber and metal accents. Dark bronze traces the lines of the house, while broad areas of glazing frame views of the courtyard. Expressive materials meet clear geometry: the textures of stone and timber complement the villa’s long horizontal lines.
Character in the details.
The material palette brings together the solidity of stone, the natural grain of timber and the transparency of glass. Dark bronze connects the broad surfaces of the facades with their finer details. This restrained palette gives the country residence a coherent character, expressed through proportion, texture and the relationship with the surrounding landscape.
Privacy, built into the plan.
The two-storey residence separates shared and private spaces. The ground-floor kitchen and living room open onto the courtyard and garden. The main suite, children’s bedrooms and guest rooms occupy the upper floor. This arrangement supports family life: gathering and entertaining take place in the shared areas, while the private rooms offer space to rest.
Spatial freedom.
Coffered floor slabs allow longer spans and more open spaces within the residence. Villa Aura’s architecture and structure were coordinated in a BIM model. Developing the layout and structure together connects the spatial concept with the building itself: the placement of load-bearing elements and floor slabs forms part of the architectural design.
Life within.
