Family villa on Lake Zurich
This charming new house on the shores of Lake Zurich was built with the help of an architectural firm. Despite the residence’s large size—400 square metres of living space—every room feels cosy. A lovingly decorated home for a young family.

... in the en suite bathroom, the terrazzo from the entrance reappears, making an excellent complement to the mosaic by Bisazza and the washbasins in dragged lacquer ...
... and in the souterrain, terrazzo anchors the dark-oak wine cellar with its almost mystical wallcovering by Phillip Jeffries ...
... when they’re not chatting over fine wines, the family and guests gather in the home cinema, which is equipped like a real movie theatre but is a lot more comfortable.
