A Swanky Swiss Villa On The Shores Of Lake Geneva [video]

Located near the shores of Lake Geneva, this distinctive three-floored urban retreat is the Ultima Geneva Grand Villa . Measuring 2,000 square metres, the property boasts an impressive master bedroom with a private terrace, seven more double bedrooms, a home theatre, and a wellness area that includes a sauna, hammam, Jacuzzi, and a well-equipped gym. There is also a huge 10-car garage and a separate villa on the property where guests can enjoy an extended stay. The luxury villa looks out onto rolling views of manicured lawns and a lush green grove. Huge terraces accommodate comfortable outdoor living areas around not one but two outdoor swimming pools.

The crisp white and grey luxury home exterior cuts cleanly into a verdant grove that is situated within walking distance of Lake Geneva’s shores.

The location is also just a short drive from the city centre and Geneva International airport, making added entertainment easy to access and air travel a breeze.

A grand entrance is fashioned around front, with neat topiary bordering either side of a wide pathway that gracefully directs guests toward the front door.

A narrower pathway of stepping stones smoothly snakes around the side of the impressive property and through the grove, creating a scenic stroll across over the lawn.

The modern house is elevated above the attractive garden, giving rise to the wide sun terraces and two outdoor swimming pools.

Waterfalls gush into the sparkling blue swimming pool, creating a relaxing soundtrack for an outdoor dining area and a sunbathing deck.

The upper floor of the home is also equipped with wide and spacious sun terraces, which gain a fabulous vantage point over the property and its surrounding green environment. Glass balustrades around the balconies leave the peaceful vista completely uninterrupted.

The swimming pools on the property jut out toward the gardens, which effectively melds the house with its beautiful plot.

Small trees are bedded into pebbled borders around the edge of the pool deck to bring serene greenery closer to the modern home interior.

Modern Dark Kitchen Design Ideas to Inspire Your Next Renovation

1. Make it an All Black Kitchen

Visualizer:Design At Sketch

Almost completely covered in black, a few minor elements shine in chrome and wood in this kitchen interior. We love how the textures do the talking, especially through the matte table under black wood-panelled walls. But having an open approach like this means that every one of your accessories on display—including knives, wine glasses, mugs, cutting boards, teapots, cookie jars, etc.—need to be on point.

2. Add Wooden Elements

Visualizer:Bogdan Tovstyy

This black beauty edges towards wooden elements. We see a speckled floor, a white wall, and a central bench. Rounded black lamps hover over the island, providing functionality and style. If you’re wondering how visual intrigue is added to this modern black kitchen… a huge credit goes to the abstract art!

3. Complement the Black Kitchen with Orange

A bit of curve rounds out the hard edges—adding some much-needed warmth. This wave-design bench leads up to an orange-hued enclave in this black-and-silver interior. The burnt orange sure makes a design statement (apart from the unique central island).

4. Keep Your Dark Modern Kitchen Simple

A simplistic look makes this black kitchen a winner. We see the basics: a light floor, a black minimalist island, and sleek cabinetry. But the contrast between light and dark keeps the ambiance interesting, while the large window welcomes plenty of natural light.
