Villa Gug

Spectacular villa in Gug Alper

Snail-shaped Architecture

The architectural group BIG has unveiled an exciting new construction project, named Villa GUG, as the house is to be built on the green wedge of Gug Alper in the Aalborg district of Gug. The house will cover 750 square metres and will be shaped like a snail shell, with a courtyard at its centre. There is a very special reason for this design.

The concept behind the spectacular architecture is to fulfil the family’s dream: to create a home with ample space for their great passion for luxury cars. Bjarke Ingels Group has therefore designed an architectural portrait of the family with Villa GUG—a home that accommodates family life while also placing a central focus on their many cars.

This is why the idea of snail-shell-shaped architecture emerged: the layout of the home will lead the family directly from the large garage into the private areas. Thanks to large glass facades on the interior of the building, there is an unobstructed view of the cars from all the rooms in the house.
