Nestled high amongst the clouds above Lake Lucerne in Switzerland is a striking home that could easily be something straight out of a James Bond film. Welcome to Villa MC, a modern marvel with minimalist design and smart technology.
Owner Eidi Herzog had a simple yet grand vision for his new home. He wanted a space that revolved around his prized car collection, with a garage as its centerpiece. Architect Andre Trina took this initial idea and ran with it, creating an innovative design that takes full advantage of the steep, foggy, and mysterious terrain.
The villa itself is a series of three sleek boxes stacked on top of each other, each offering a unique view, whether it’s the glittering lake, the steep slopes, or the towering mountains. Each room was designed to capture something interesting, ensuring that every angle of the house provides a different perspective.
The ground floor is dedicated to Herzog’s car collection, with a garage that can fit at least seven sports cars. Connected by an elevator, the upper floors reveal a luxurious and minimalist interior. The first box holds a master bedroom, a spa, and a gym area with an outdoor pool. The second box contains an uncluttered kitchen, living, and dining area. The top floor houses an office, a guest bedroom, and a home theater.
The structure of the house mainly uses concrete, providing a clean and uniform look with white-plastered walls. The floors are made from either smooth wench wood or black basalt stone, adding to the sleek and modern feel. Corian is used in the kitchen and the spa for a seamless finish.
Despite its concrete façade, Villa MC isn’t just a concrete jungle. It’s filled with high-end amenities and smart technology. The house features a built-in sauna, swimming pool, home theater, and a clever panel that controls lights, blinds, music, and surveillance cameras. With just a touch of a button, you can set the mood in any room.
Most intriguingly, the house contains only three right angles in its entire construction, making it as mysterious and unique as it gets. Villa MC truly is the ultimate bachelor pad, embodying both style and sophistication in every corner.
