Iconic Building In A Quiet Location St. Gallen Rhine Valley

We are offering a rare opportunity to acquire a Bauhaus villa designed in 1954 by Otto Glaus, located in one of the most desirable neighborhoods in the St. Gallen Rhine Valley. Otto Glaus, a direct student of Le Corbusier, one of the most influential architects of the 20th century, was granted full creative freedom by his client at the time, allowing him to design this unique Bauhaus villa according to Le Corbusier’s Modulor principles. This masterpiece by Otto Glaus embodies a timeless, modern architectural style and features original furniture. A comprehensive and high-quality renovation in 2017 carefully preserved its original details, ensuring that its historical significance and aesthetic appeal remain intact. A newly built, style-appropriate garage accommodates up to three vehicles, complementing the overall design. The property sits on an idyllic plot of approximately 1,904m², surrounded by mature trees and shrubs, creating a peaceful atmosphere in a family-friendly neighborhood. Perfectly suited for those who wish to combine living and working under one roof, the villa offers approximately 275m² of living space across a single floor, with a total usable space of around 439m², including the basement. The bright entrance area features built-in closets and a guest toilet, leading to a modern, fully equipped kitchen with ample storage and a pantry. The open dining area offers beautiful views of the vibrant surroundings, while the spacious living room, separate from the dining area, boasts a fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows that enhance the sense of space. In the south wing, an elegant master bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom with a bathtub, WC, and double sink, while an adjacent guest room comes with an additional bathroom featuring a shower, WC, and sink. A separate office space of approximately 10m² includes built-in storage, and a cozy lounge area serves as a perfect reading or TV room. Additional features include a ”servants’ room” with a sink, as well as a separate, elegant office suite with its own bathroom, kitchenette, and archive. The basement level houses a wine cellar, utility room, air-raid shelter, and technical rooms, ensuring practical functionality. The thoughtfully designed spatial layout extends to the beautifully maintained outdoor area, which includes a swimming pool, changing room, shower, and multiple storage rooms. A unique aspect of this villa is its carefully curated interior and exterior color scheme, inspired by Le Corbusier’s “Polychromie Architecturale,” a distinctive color system that enhances the architectural character of the property. This villa is a remarkable piece of architectural history and a true highlight for discerning lovers of exceptional living culture.

Situated in the heart of a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood in a sunny, tax-favorable community in the St. Gallen Rhine Valley, the villa is within short walking distance of all essential amenities, as well as those in neighboring communities. Additionally, a recently renovated nature reserve is also nearby, offering excellent opportunities to enjoy fresh air and the beauty of nature.
