Kriebelhaus
The Kriebelhaus is a bourgeois residential building in the Leerbeutel ( Zalesie ) settlement in Breslau ( Wrocław ), it was built in 1927 according to a design by the Wroclaw architect Adolf Rading for the chief physician Arnold Kriebel , his wife and their four children.
It stands on the former property at Mozartstrasse 1, today ul. Lipińskiego 1 , on the edge of the Scheitniger Park . It is considered a masterpiece of classical modern architecture in Silesia.
The building consists of interpenetrating cuboids , the strict orthogonality is broken by a rounded building edge on the street and on the garden side. The architecture reveals suggestions from shipbuilding. The architect himself described it as a “country house” because he strived for the closest possible proximity between the garden and living space. Thanks to many glass surfaces and a large terrace, the interior and the garden flow smoothly into one another. Rading supported this effect by the fact that some of the large windows do not hit the hinges in the interior when they are opened, but are sunk into the hollow window sill. Rading also designed furniture and wall-mounted fittings for this house.
