Prefab Villas Designed By Daniel Libeskind
Daniel Libeskind’s recent project, a series of signature prefabricated homes, is a drastic change from his usual commissions. Although a smaller project (5,500 square foot), the residence strongly speaks his language of design with drastic angles, strong geometries and seamless transitions between spaces. In this ever-growing age of prefab dominance, Libeskind’s Villas will be able to be shipped to almost any location in the world within months, and will be assembled on site by a team of experts within weeks.
‘This is really the first time I have taken on the issue of doing something which is a limited artistic edition of a new space, a new way of living….I did everything in reverse in my career. Most people start with small projects and go on to design a museum. I started with a museum,’ Libeskind commented.
The Villa – Libeskind Signature Series
Available Worldwide
Like a crystal growing from rock, a dramatic structure emerges from the ground. The Villa, Daniel Libeskind’s first signature series home, creates a new dialogue between contemporary living and a completely new experience of space. Built from premium materials, this German-made, sculptural living space meets the highest standards in design, craftsmanship and sustainability. It is unique at every turn, offering maximum insulation and durability, cutting-edge technologies and compliance with some of the toughest energy-saving standards across the world. Studio Daniel Libeskind worked with proportion GmbH on this project.
Libeskind’s Villa awakens the senses: light floods through glass expanses, clean lines invite calm, elegant halls and staircases offer seamless transitions. Symbolically and physically, the Villa’s connection with nature is uninterrupted, offering ample natural light and open spaces.
A trio of interlocking architectural bands envelop the Villa in striking angles, creating a dramatic, asymmetrical interior of spiraling, two-story peaks and smooth transitions to secluded terraces. The impressive entrance hall leads to an elaborate Grand Room which highlights the geometric space. Design details reveal style and functionality: A balcony adjacent to the master bedroom is adorned with elaborate metalwork; light wells direct daylight into a sauna; and recessed wardrobes streamline dressing spaces.
High-tech façade
Mimicking the Jewish Museum in Berlin and other architectural masterpieces by Daniel Libeskind, the Villa’s exterior is enveloped by an elegant standing-seam zinc façade, which enables the use of 21st Century technologies such as a solar thermal system and a rain water harvesting system. The zinc cladding is available in two hues that resemble naturally aged zinc: the popular pre-weathered blue-gray, and the elegant graphite-gray, both made by leading German zinc manufacturer Rheinzink.
Large floor-to-ceiling windows create dazzling displays of sunlight and transparency inside the house. The aluminum façade, adorned with mullions and concealed fittings, offers maximum thermal insulation, noise reduction and weather resistance. Homeowners may choose from double or triple low-E glazing, as well as different surface colors and finishes.
Casual style interior
The dramatic look of the Villa’s exterior is matched by a luxurious interior. Among the exquisite amenities is the stunning kitchen ensemble, situated in the Grand Room, with a custom made island designed by Daniel Libeskind – an attractive focal point for cooking, dining and entertaining.
Elegant smoked parquet flooring, slim stainless steel staircases, and soft, bright manufactured stones in the bathrooms distinguish the Casual Style, which evokes a sense of warmth and comfort. Plush lounges, intimate lighting and warm colors, best suited to the Casual Style, create a striking contrast with the exterior architecture and more stylistic elements of the Villa.
Design and Materials
Sustainable materials are at the heart of Libeskind’s design. While not apparent from the exterior, the Villa is largely constructed of wood, a renewable resource that is making a strong comeback as a key building material for the 21st Century, due to its impressive carbon-storing capabilities.
The wooden core offers maximum thermal insulation, and thus efficient operation. With more than 360 mm of recyclable wooden fibers and a heat transition coefficient of 0.11 W/m²K, the insulation of the Villa’s exterior walls matches that of passive houses.
Onsite Renewables
The Villa employs onsite renewable energy sources for heating, electricity and water. Its standard configuration includes a solar thermal system which is invisibly integrated into the zinc façade, as well as a geothermal system with a high-efficiency heat pump.
In addition, electric power may be generated from photovoltaic thin film, while rain water can be harvested from the rooftop for use in the garden’s irrigation system.
Energy Saving Standards
As a result of its high thermal insulation capabilities and renewable energy sources, the Villa is classified as a low-energy structure. Indeed, it complies with some of the world’s toughest energy-saving standards, such as Germany’s KfW40 code, which indicates a thermal energy consumption of less than 40 kWh/m²a.
A new era of luxury
The Villa can be shipped to almost any location in the world within months, and will be assembled on location by a team of experts within weeks.’

The Villa – Libeskind, look quite nice, is good to see some one like Libeskind breaking the cube design routine as Gerhy does
For $3mil – $4 mil. a wealthy client should expect a unique house that responds to a specific site, a highly personal lifestyle and individual aesthetic goals. Libeskind’s mass-produced, “one-size-fits-all” house, however glorified in the jargonistic buzzwords of the day (i.e. “sustainability”), satisfies none of those ideals. And given that Libeskind has seen none of the probable building sites, it could never be considered environmentally correct. Hence it can never truly be considered high-end design. It will never be more than something for the intellectually insecure to use to try and achieve social credibility. Only a fool would buy into Libeskind’s self-serving hype.
Environmentally sensitive design guidelines favor houses built from materials sourced at or near the building site. Libeskind’s design fails on several fronts. Firstly, shipping materials to Berlin in order to build a house that will be shipped off to another site thousands of miles away is not good eco-design. And the excessive surface to volume ratio of Libeskind’s design is highly inefficient from an energy standpoint. (A cube is the optimum volume.Efficiency goes down from there.) Libeskind’s only skill is at self-promotion. His design skills have always been limited to a few pretentious, attention-seeking shapes.
Hi, I just wanted fill you in I have subscribed to your RSS feeds because of your astounding website layout
. But honestly, I believe your webpage amongst the cleanest design I
It’s an awful-looking design and the detailing is clumsy. Some pretentious arty farty clown might buy it, but who’d want it afterwards? I’d say the resale value of a house like this is zero.
Hi, I just noticed your RSS feed is not loading correctly, Thought I should let you know.

More of the usual garbage that has been coming out of Libeskind’s office. He’s such an idiotic figure you can only feel sorry for him and the poor schmucks who work on his projects.
Libeskind is always good for a laugh. What a jerk.
Excellent post. I was checking continuously this weblog and I am impressed! Extremely useful information specially the final phase
