Home is where the art is.
Capturing the character of Dalí, Jugendstil forms, Spanish facades and nautical life in one villa.

The ‘Villa Dalí’ clients asked for a very personal house which would reflect their passions. They are nautical minded and have a love of art, sculptures and especially the work of Salvador Dalí. During the initial design discussions 123DV architecture were also showed pictures of ancient Spanish architecture. They were fascinated by the closed white stucco facades and metal fences in Jugendstil design. So the challenge was to combine in one villa the beautiful Jugendstil forms, the closed facades, the treasures of the diving world and the unique works of the artist Dalí.

For the design of the house 123DV architecture made use of the Paranoiac-critical method by Salvador Dalí (creating optical illusions). The result is a cylindrical white stucco main building with a nautilus spiral structure inside; representing the world of diving. The closed facade facing the street represents the so called Spanish architecture with a blown up ‘Jugendstil’ pattern in the six meter wooden panel as the entrance. In the centre of the house there is a double story cylindrical space. The furniture has also been custom designed. Traces of Dalí’s fluid watch art can be found in their design.

That’s a ‘wiseman’!
Haven’t such an clear example of bad taste in a long time!
look at the car in the first picture is so much better than the house…..clearly a bad move
the glass panels and doors remind me of art nouveau.
beautiful house from the inside!
Kind of kitschy, but if it’s what the client wants then who are we to judge?
That said, the outside kind of looks like a generic new-age chapel. That stairwell on the other hand, absolutely beautiful.
Can you spell “kitsch” ?
And what’s with the flooring pattern on the tables? :/
Dalí is cool, this is not.
There is pure surreal and pure modern, You can’t mix it. Corbusier and Dali didn’t like each other.
Looks like 3rd rate Eric Mendelsohn, with a parti by Captain Nemo.
this is wrong.
Wiesmann
In my humble opinion, there are just too many concepts that the architect is attempting to execute in the same architectural work. Truly great architecture exhibits an honest and sincere devotion to concept; however, the villa is trying to do too much with too many conflicting ideologies. Even from a formal perspective, the juxtaposition of simple shapes just isn’t sitting right…
Maybe from an architectural viewpoint this isn’t the greatest work, but I can see how the client could be very happy in this house.
What is EXACTLY corresponds to Dali in this project? Nothing. Study Dali creativity, please.
architecture, might, just oneday kill itself.
what a glorious day that will be.
and then maybe again in the futre it might rise again.
what a glorious time that will be aslo.
lets hope it happens quick.
.. and blessed will be the days between those two events..
you can check Ando’s staircases…spiral motive but…in an elegant way!
dont’ like the house.
want the car.
I’m sure glad that nautilus shell generated the parti, because that REALLY makes it relevant.
yikes…
lol
DALI IN A CLASSICAL STYLE HOUSE.
i just love these posts… “dont like the house. want the car” so awesome. i just had to click on this project to see what you all have posted. and im glad i did. great comments
well, it’s ambitious project. the client likes Dali (this can be seen good in the some interior details). but to built house by Dali style – it’s very hard and diffilcult job. there you need many many fantasy (and money) that you can restore/rebuild Dali’s Ideas.
some details in this project realy remain a bit “dali”, but whole of this project is speculation of Dali name.
anyhow the Wiesmann car is more better and more beautiful than this house. Sorry.
P.s.: very gloomy and dark interior.
nice car!
