Project type: Self-initiated concept project

Visualisation of the Villa Nera residence: a low stone house with a flat roof and an infinity pool on a rocky slope above the Adriatic, an olive tree in the foreground.

01Overview

A website concept for Villa Nera, an imagined retreat on the Dalmatian coast shaped by stone, light and the sea.

Villa Nera is a concept project by LAB7. The website unfolds as one continuous story: from the first view of the house, through its architecture, interiors and setting, to a quiet invitation to enquire.

02Challenge

How do you convey the feeling of staying in an exclusive villa through a digital experience? The challenge was to shape a website that does more than present the space: one that evokes its atmosphere, its architecture and its connection to the Mediterranean setting.

03Approach

The website's visual identity draws inspiration from Villa Nera's architecture and its Mediterranean surroundings. Refined typography, natural tones of stone and sand, and large-scale imagery create a sense of elegance and calm. Subtle animations enhance the atmosphere without distracting from the content.

The Villa Nera homepage on desktop: the serif headline “A private place between stone and sea.” over a view of the residence.
The Villa Nera homepage on a phone, with the same headline over the residence.
The Residence chapter on a phone: the headline “Designed for stillness.” above an introduction and an image of the house.

04What we built

We built a website that guides visitors in one continuous flow, from the first impression to sending an enquiry. On larger screens, a sequence of four views stays in place as the page scrolls, while on phones the key photographs are adapted to the narrower format.
