About Zero Gravity Residence
The villa creates an internal space where a person is given a special freedom of move and spatial experience. All the connections are short; there are no unnecessary rooms so you can live the entire space every day. Here is considered the sensory experience of human interaction with light, materials, and the atmosphere. Certain effect is created by lamps, which are expressive, both with and without light e.g. angel wings in living room are able to dematerialize, dissolving into space. Particular attention is paid to details with a clear drawing, balance between rounded forms and ration lines.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- A special effect is created by lamps, which are expressive both with and without light. e.g. Angel wings in living room are able to dematerialize, dissolving into space. In the ladies' bedroom no separate place for a dressing room, or boudoir. Here as a basis, we took the concept of luxury boutique, for style - a new image of modern interior and timeless femininity. Male half uses masculine textures, colors and images - here even light creates a different mood.
- Inspiration
- This is the interior of the house we've designed. Here lives an adult married couple, sometimes their grandchildren stay overnight here. The villa creating an internal space where a person is given a special freedom of movement and spatial experience. Here we consider the sensory experience of human interaction with light, materials, and the atmosphere. If we talk about home the convertible qualities are space, natural light, personalization.
- Research
- Sensory perception of space - through light, color, tactility, sensations, experiences - that's what matters.
- Challenge
- Particular attention is paid to details with a clear drawing, balance between rounded forms and rational lines. We believe that the general style of the house should be maintained, but the mood, tactile sensations and atmosphere in each room are personalized in detail for their owners and for the function they carry.
- Realization and Technology
- Systems with cooling and radiating surfaces are used as the main source of climate - warm cold floors, walls, ceiling, which significantly improve the quality of life of residents and protect the environment. We believe the sence like climat, smell, air freshness are also parts of modern interior
- Operation and Interaction
- We tried to keep all connections short. There are no unnecessary rooms so you can live the entire space everyday. The living room, kitchen and a bedroom have free access to the lawn, pool and terrace with a water installation. The colors are delicate, unobtrusive, leaving room for light and textures. Timeless textures of stone, glass, metal and solid wood have helped to breathe the soul into the space. The interior is very ethereal, elegant and beautifully distributed within all volumes.
