High-profile architect, Daniel Libeskind, 63, has designed a 5,500-square foot, two-story home, or as it being marketed, The Daniel Libeskind Villa. Libeskinds's signature design vocabulary of bold angular, thrusting forms is found through out this design. Clearly, he rejects the rectilinear shapes common to a lot of modern prefab residential design. Except for a commission for a private home in Connecticut, this project represents Mr. Libeskind's only second attempt at residential home design.

As quoted in the New York Times: “I did everything in reverse in my career,” he said. “Most people start with small projects and go on to design a museum. I started with a museum.” But he says residential design is “the more interesting part of architecture". Mr. Libeskind went on to say that the villa "starts a new dialog between contemporary living and a completely new way of experiencing space".

The house will be framed using traditional timber-frame construction, with parts of the exterior clad in zinc and aluminum. With four bedrooms and four bathrooms, the villa has open spaces that flow into one another --  including a kitchen that is part of the 100-square-meter “grand room". For finishines, buyers can choose between the “Libeskind-style” interior, marked by his sharp lines and bold white flooring, or the “casual style,” which offers a “softer” look, with parquet floors and more subdued lighting.

Special features include a 4-meter-tall rain shower, a fireplace room and a wine cellar. A stainless steel staircase connects the floors.

Mr. Libeskind says he was involved in every aspect of the design, from the door handles to the kitchen layout to the placement of a barbecue area.

“It’s really designing a total work of art,” he said. “It’s not just designing a shell or something, or a shape that is iconic, but really creating an environment at every level.”

The house is designed as three interlocking structures and most of the elements will be manufactured in a factory

The home is said to cost $2.8 to $4.2 million, depending on the homes destination. The price includes shipping and construction.  The villa home can shipped and assembled anywhere in Europe, includes a solar thermal system and a sauna.
