Villa Jako, Private residence in Altona, Germany

The Villa Jako building features Roman architectural elements, including an atrium with a water basin and antique-inspired facade details.

Architect Walther Baedeker designed the villa in 1922 for Hermann Johannes Friedrich Witte on a property dating back to 1799.

Fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld purchased the villa in 1991, naming it after his partner Jacques de Bascher and conducted extensive renovations.

The property spans 12,000 square meters and includes landscaped gardens with maple trees, beech trees, and terraced lawns leading to the Elbe River.

The entrance gate opens to a baroque garden with a central water feature that directs views toward the Elbe landscape.
