The studio building of the Düsseldorf Art Academy , Reuterkaserne 1, was built by Rudolf Schwarz between 1956 and 1958 .

In the west of the Düsseldorf Art Academy , a building with two asymmetrical shed roofs was built. The upper half of the north wall is divided into five axes and glazed over the entire wall. In the rear part of the building there is a gate for material deliveries; the workshops with machines are located here. The studio rooms are located in the front part of the house. The room layout has since been changed. The original plans have not been preserved.

On the Rhine side of the studio house there is an untitled object by Benjamin Houlihan from 2002. It depicts a puzzlingly steep "mountain" and is the relic of an art project on August 10, 2002. At that time, the "mountain", made of fiberglass, Plastic, iron and high-sea foam is made for ten days, attached to ropes and stones anchored in the Rhine bottom, on the Rhine .

The small passage between the “studio building” and the “art academy” is today's Emma-Horion- Weg.
