The Eichhorn house at Beckbuschstrasse 15 in Düsseldorf-Stockum was built in 1965/1966 according to plans by Paul Schneider-Esleben . It is shaped by thoughts of the international style and brutalism .
description
The building is geometrically abstract and functional. The orthogonal low-rise building is strictly structured and balanced. The walls on the garden side have room-high windows, while on the street side the walls have only small rows of windows. Living rooms and bedrooms can be reached via a longitudinal corridor. The living room is located in a porch in the garden. The ceiling construction protrudes over the porch in the garden, which "hardly seems to rise above the landscape". In doing so, the architect is based on his earlier works, which were influenced by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Richard Neutra . The swimming pool in the garden is covered by a pergola.
At the same time, the architect turned towards brutalism - "with the dominant concrete parapet he rebalanced the architectural statement and established a type that was often taken up in the 1960s". The building material is white grouted masonry and exposed concrete. White brickwork placed in parallel on a T-shaped floor plan forms the abutment for the heavy concrete ceiling. Wide exposed concrete sides are flush with the masonry.
