ÖÖD Golden House, Estonia

In a collection of 79 exclusive houses, named after the elemental number of gold, Estonian developer ÖÖD has crafted a spectacular example of compact architectural design. Founded by two visionary brothers, ÖÖD quickly gained prominence for its innovative approach to residential architecture by using mirrors to blend its structures seamlessly into their surroundings. This clever use of reflective surfaces allowed ÖÖD homes to merge with the natural landscape, creating an aesthetic that is both contemporary and unobtrusive.

ÖÖD’s homes, known for their signature mirrored glazing, act as “architectural camouflage,” allowing each structure to reflect its environment, shifting seamlessly from mountains to forests to coastal settings. These premium, turn-key homes have been designed to be installed with minimal impact on their natural surroundings and are now found in some of the world’s most picturesque locations. Their understated elegance and environmental harmony have made them a popular choice for those seeking a luxurious yet eco-conscious living experience.

The new limited edition, the Golden House, represents a bold evolution in ÖÖD’s already iconic design approach. This stunning residence elevates the brand’s design-led philosophy to a new level by incorporating specially developed golden glass on three of its four walls, casting a warm, luxurious glow while maintaining the reflective quality that has made ÖÖD homes so unique. The golden glass provides a fresh take on the company’s mirrored facade, offering a striking yet sophisticated visual appeal that sets it apart from other minimalist structures.

Inside, the Golden House features a meticulously crafted, minimalist interior that reflects the same high standards as its exterior. Each unit is outfitted with premium fixtures by Buster + Punch, including switches, cabinet hardware, lighting, and door handles. These details contribute to the refined aesthetic, offering both functionality and beauty. Every element within the Golden House is curated to create an ambiance of modern luxury.
