Sublime like a cultural heritage site steeped in history, yet a thoroughly modern design masterpiece: Classical majesty and contemporary linearity combine to create a uniquely open spatial experience. Erected in 2002, this villa unites characteristic elements of the styles of Karl Friedrich Schinkel and Peter Behrens. With an impressive approx. 1,170 square metres of living space, the snow-white villa, crowned by four distinctive corner towers, rises above an opulent plinth level that makes the building’s grandeur unmistakable.
The heart of the villa is the wood-panelled atrium, with an impressive ceiling height of seven metres and spectacular glazed roofing that floods the interior with radiant daylight. A magnificent black-marble fireplace forms a striking focal point—this material also appears in many refined details throughout the property. Floor-to-ceiling mullioned windows with white frames, exquisite Makassar wood cabinets, and bronze and brass chandeliers: the stately harmony of the interior seems to have emerged from bygone eras, yet reflects a timeless awareness of style. Thanks to the open floor plan and the correspondingly ample wall space available for individual design, large-format paintings, sculptures and designer furniture also find their place here. From the main hall, the villa’s key rooms can be reached both on the ground floor and via the gallery on the upper floor: the salon, the two private dressing areas, the children’s and study rooms, and the four bedrooms with en-suite marble bathrooms, located in the four corner towers.
The extensive spa area in the plinth level invites relaxation, featuring a black-marble infinity pool, hammam and sauna with a separate plunge pool.
The adjoining outdoor areas are every bit as exclusive as the villa itself: A symmetrically arranged private park extends across approximately 3,000 square metres of grounds, complete with a playful water fountain, and borders the prestigious Thielpark directly. The spacious terrace, grand stairways and generous placement of natural-stone elements create an ever-present Mediterranean elegance. Especially after nightfall, the property’s carefully positioned lighting evokes the atmosphere of ancient palaces—a splendour unmatched even in distinguished Berlin-Dahlem.
