CRAFTED WITH THE LEGACY OF A FASHION ICON

Fitting with Karl Lagerfeld’s renowned reputation for avant-garde style. This exclusive collection of just 51 villas was created blending each partner’s unique vision of luxury with innovation. The most important aspect of working with exceptional brands like Lagerfeld is ensuring that the brand’s identity and essence are reflected throughout the entire process.

THE DESIGN CONCEPT

The concept was to seamlessly integrate Lagerfeld’s signature minimalist approach. But, instead with a modern aesthetic. Resulting in a design that exudes sophistication and elegance.

The monochromatic palette and sleek, streamlined textured exteriors perfectly encapsulate this visionary spirit.

Throughout this project, our goal was to echo the refined simplicity and bold innovation of Lagerfeld’s work. The challenge was to capture his passion for 18th-century architecture, molding this with his love for art deco features, while keeping a sense of modern luxury. 


THE DETAILS

Lagerfeld never did anything short of iconic. His catwalks became legendary, from creating a rocket ship to an iceberg to an enchanted forest. The central stage of the masterplan is the catwalk. The catwalk emulates the astounding success of Karl. We centered each villa around a grand entrance, culminating at the stunning spiraling staircase. On either side, various lifestyle zones can be found, each inspired by Karl’s life.

THE RESIDENCES

The collection features homes of 5 to 7 bedrooms ranging in size from 721 square meters to 1,790 square meters. With access to state-of-the-art amenities. The Pavilion is home to exclusive resident amenities such as “The Club” which acts as an entertainment space, and “The Library” a resident’s lounge that pays homage to Karl’s passion for the written world, with an impressive 300,000 books in his private collection. The Pavilion also features a gym, a beach-inspired adult pool, a kid’s pool, and parks.
