The Collector's House

Art-Centric Living in the Black Forest

From the Mokamaster in the kitchen to the library in the gallery, the design of this home reflects a commitment to quality and longevity. It is a brand-new construction that balances the warmth of underfloor heating with the cool sophistication of minimalist surfaces. Interiors are centered around an expansive dining hall with a table for 10. Lounge areas are peppered with diverse daybeds and original design chairs. Textures of glass, wood, and stone are complemented by vegan cosmetic products and organic coffee, emphasizing a mindful, high-design lifestyle.

The garden serves as a sanctuary, accessible directly from the main living areas. A spacious terrace is designed to capture the sun well into the late autumn months, providing a peaceful spot for outdoor lounging.

What we love

We love the vibes of this home that feels like living in your own vintage gallery. Pops of color, designer furniture combined with creative handicrafts and a light-filled space. Creativity sparks all around you.
