House Nakatenus
The Nakatenus house is a residential building in Düsseldorf-Niederkassel , Kaiser-Friedrich-Ring 94, on the Rheindamm. It was built between 1954 and 1955 based on a design by the Düsseldorf architect Bernhard Pfau and is a listed building .
description
The building is geometrically abstract in cubic shapes. Pfau planned “a cube that is intersected with the dam in such a way that it appears on the street side as a single-storey, flat structure”, although the building is partially two-storey. "Room cubes with different volumes" are set in the building. The “buildings shifted against each other” can be read.
The west facade of the building was originally equipped with three-by-three-meter, transparent insulating glass panes, which enabled “the almost complete opening to the garden”. In the meantime, however, the transparency has been lost because dark-tinted panes have been used.
