Zala Springs is one of the leading golf resorts in Europe, nestled in the magical landscape of Zala in Hungary, near Lake Balaton. The power of the landscape paired with a first-class golf experience makes it one of the top golf destinations on the continent. Zala Springs offers a range of services and offerings that go beyond the golf experience. The clubhouse with fine cuisine and the resort spa complete the golf experience.
The villa is planned on a gentle hill opposite the clubhouse and thus offers a wide view of the landscape and hole 18.
The villa was designed as a majestic home and offers a variety of spaces made up of three main parts. A central part that offers a generous space for living together. The living room and the associated open kitchen are also located here. If we go to the left from the central area, we will reach the second wing, where the dining room, the club room and the service rooms are located. In the third part of the property there is a suite with one bedroom and two guest rooms each with a separate bathroom.
In addition to the terrace and the panorama pool, a private sauna with a wonderful view of the golf course is also planned.
The majestic, airy roof gives the impression that the entire building is floating above the golf course. The green roofs in the lower units create an image of proximity to the surrounding landscape and nature.
The plan was conceived as an elegant, rational floor plan, paired with noble rooms and the feeling of size that is created by the diverse views of the golf course and the landscape. The use of natural materials enables blurred boundaries between inside and outside.
The house offers great common areas and makes the private rooms appear separate. The villa offers space for one or two people and at the same time offers a comfortable interior for up to 8 people.
The entrance is elegant and discreet so that the street can be visually separated. A strong visual axis draws the visitor to the main entrance, surrounded by a soft landscape and the reflection of water in a shallow pool along the house.
The majestic, airy roof gives the impression that the entire building is floating above the golf course. The green roofs in the lower units create an image of proximity to the surrounding landscape and nature.
The wooden ceiling creates a strong connection between the living room and the main common areas of the house. The living room offers a panoramic view of the outside, the stone-clad walls of the fireplace and the end walls. The upper windows provide filtered light. The space is great and intimate at the same time.
Next to the living room is a terrace and a pool area. The various external shading systems can be used to create an external living room that is protected from wind and sun. The use of a stone floor merges the threshold between outside and inside.
A small work club room was designed as a small separation from the main living area, which can also serve as an optional guest area.
The master bedroom suite has its own loggia and terrace area as well as an exclusive bathroom. The entire suite enjoys size and
Privacy with extensive views of the golf course.
The master bedroom has a sheltered loggia that offers an outside area with some protection. This area is next to the swimming pool and jacuzzi and has its own terrace. The master bedroom is modern in design.
As seen from the square, the light wooden roof makes the villa appear both grand and modest. The pool area is on a pedestal and hovers over the square.
The sauna wellness area offers a view outside and is at the same time an intimate space. The own sauna, swimming pool and jacuzzi area offers a full wellness experience.
