House 19 of Weissenhof

Bruno Taut – House 19 – Weissenhof district, Stuttgart, Germany, 1927

Bruno Taut was chosen to design one of the houses in the Weissenhofsiedlung district in Stuttgart, he was assigned a two-storey four-room single-family house. All the main rooms were located on the ground floor, the living room facing east and the bedrooms facing south. The architect had thought of his residence as a proletarian home among single-family houses, in fact it had been designed for economically disadvantaged families. During the Second World War the Taut house was destroyed and today another building resides on its grounds.
