Villa Mistral defies the monotone box-type form commonly found in residential designs. Instead, it mimics the sleek lines and dynamic solidity of a boat. The all-white exterior with a metallic tinge gives it a modern and sophisticated look, while the structural elements, both inside and out, evoke a sense of forward thrust and power. The villa seamlessly blends with its surroundings, creating a harmonious integration between the structure, landscaping, and interior design.
One of the standout features of Villa Mistral is its island character. Situated in Sentosa Cove, a marina residential community known for its tropical resort living, the villa offers a unique waterfront lifestyle. The design takes full advantage of the harbor view and incorporates a seaside theme throughout the interiors. From custom artworks to carefully selected decorative elements, every detail reflects the beauty of the surrounding environment.
The realization of Villa Mistral required a combination of innovative technologies and meticulous craftsmanship. The angular outward-leaning structural elements and glazed walls create an immersive experience, both inside and outside the villa, reminiscent of being on a powerful vessel driving through the sea. The facade, a combination of timber and concrete, adds a rhythmic quality to the design, while windows of varying scales allow natural light to flood the interiors.
Villa Mistral spans over four levels, including a basement entertainment room. The ground floor houses the dining area, dry kitchen, and living area, while the second level features the bedrooms, including the master suite, and a terrace overlooking the canal. The top floor boasts a spacious open-concept living and dining lounge, perfect for hosting parties. The attic lounge leads to a large roof terrace with a jacuzzi, offering a breathtaking view of Sentosa Cove.
Located on the tranquil eastern coast of Sentosa Island, Villa Mistral enjoys the serenity of its surroundings while being just a short drive away from the bustling city life of mainland Singapore. The construction of the villa began in 2009 and was completed in 2017, with meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to excellence.
Villa Mistral is a testament to the vision and creativity of Massimo Mercurio and his team at Mercurio Design Lab. By seamlessly blending the beauty of a yacht with the comforts of home, they have created a truly exceptional residential design. Villa Mistral has been recognized for its excellence and was awarded the prestigious Iron A' Design Award in 2022, a testament to its innovative and practical design.
