This stunning luxury residence entitled Villa A is located on the slope of the Poestling Berg, a mountain overlooking Linz the capital of Upper Austria. The property is accessible from the road behind leading down hills to the building’s main entrance, covered by an extended cantilever roof structure. On the street side the building facade is closed with natural stonework to provide intimacy towards the street. After crossing a small pond one is invited to take in the breathtaking panoramic view of the city before entering the central hall of the 4,520 square foot (420 square meters) house designed by Najjar-Najjar Architects.

Following the topography of the site the house is partly carved into the ground where the fitness and wellness facilities are located as well as an office and playroom for children. The dining area with an open kitchen is reached by taking a few steps down from the central hall. From there another couple of steps lead to a comfortable area where one can lounge on the sofa or chaise lounge overlooking the swimming pool and enjoying the marvelous view over the city. The floor materials are distinguished according to level and function. The bedrooms are located on the upper levels that are accessed by stairs which leads to an open gallery. Via
