history

architecture
The flat-roofed residential building is one of the few examples of the New Building and Bauhaus style in the region. The building owner's specification that the building should be used as a residential building and gallery at the same time gave it its typical shape. The villa consists of three asymmetrically nested cubes with three, two and one storeys. In the center is the rectangular building. From the north, the three-storey cube, reminiscent of a tower, with three floors was pushed into the central cube. On the south corner, a rectangular cube with one storey is pushed into the central one. Small windows define the building from the front, but ribbon windows have also been integrated and provide plenty of daylight in the house. Two large panoramic windows are set in the low extension. In the central cube, on the west side, there is a terrace with three floor-to-ceiling French doors. On the first floor above there are five arched doors with a balcony. Only on the east side are there many and larger windows. This is hardly visible. The corners of the surrounding corner windows are made of clinker brickwork. The building was constructed in concrete with hollow block and brick masonry. The walls are plastered and without ornamentation or decoration.
The central entrance is on the ground floor of the central cube in the north. There is a vestibule behind it. This leads into the high cube to the cloakroom and to a bathroom. There is also a lounge for the girl, the kitchen, the pantry and the sideboard. A side entrance in the three-story cube also leads to the kitchen. The cloakroom leads to a large hall in the central cube. From here it goes into a living room, a salon and the master's room in the small cube. A staircase leads to the first floor. A podium leads to a guest room in the south. Three arches lead to a side hallway that leads to two bedrooms and a bathroom. Another room is to the north.
