Aluminum house

The listed aluminum house at Jägerhofstrasse 29 in Düsseldorf - Pempelfort was built from 1952 to 1953 according to plans by Helmut Hentrich and Hans Heuser as a residential and office building for the Olga van Meeteren company. Hubert Petschnigg was an employee . The name derives from the appearance of the house with the aluminum-clad building columns that structure the glass facade vertically.
