Wach residential and studio building
The Wach residential and studio building is located at Emmericher Strasse 28 in Düsseldorf - Golzheim . It was built from 1931 to 1933 based on designs by Karl Wach . Due to the free composition of the cubes and surfaces, it was groundbreaking for the modern residential building architecture of the 1950s. For the first time, exposed concrete was used as a building material in the construction of residential buildings in Düsseldorf . The front building is two-story, the rear building is single-story. A monopitch roof slopes down from the front to the rear building. The facade on the street shows an asymmetrical composition of transverse windows. A ribbon of round windows is located above the entrance area. It is a motif from shipbuilding and comes from the exterior design of ocean liners.
The building is a listed building . Jörg Heimeshoff sees it as an “important example of building in concrete, which was unusual for buildings of that time”.
