Weissenhofmuseum im Haus Le Corbusier

SC201- every picture tells a story

Designed by architects Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret for the 1927 Werkbund-Ausstellung, the 2 semi detached houses Rathenaustrasse 1-3 (and another detached house) were listed as UNESCO World Heritage in 2016.

The interiour was designed with sliding doors and built-in furniture (the beds for instance could be stored in the wardrobes during the day) and painted in typical Bauhaus colours.
For the people living in the houses this concept was rather alien and they started changing the original design until all original features were lost. Finally in 2006 the semi detached houses were turned into a museum and the original interiour was restored after old photos and plans.

Great design should be preserved. I now feel as if our home is very cluttered. ;-)

I think these interiors look pretty soulless. I wouldn't want to live in one. I can understand why people started changing things.

Nevertheless, I like the photos and it's important that this sort of thing is preserved for future generations to see. A nicely captured series and an interesting narrative Gudrun.

Thank you so much, Keith!
It's not inhabited now but it would indeed be a challenge for most of us to live in such a house (the same goes for Tiny Houses where you also would have to say goodbye to a large part of your possessions;-)

Obrigada, Isabel! I like the clean lines but I have far too many books and other things for such a pared down environment;-)

Schönen Dank, Erich! Ich würde das unter "Kreuzbrecher" verbuchen, unter der Matratze ist nur ein dünnes Drahtgeflecht;-)

A strak interior, but the colours are interesting, and the artwork.

The angles you chose add an appealing extra dynamic to the images, resulting in a truly engaging series of photos of these interiors!

Gudrun ^club has replied to *Уαɾα ^club

Thank you so much, *Уαɾα! The angles were mainly dictated by the narrow rooms and the museum attendants also were in the way;-)

So schön könnte man doch alle Krankenhauszimmer ausstatten ;-)

Gudrun ^club has replied to Edna Edenkoben ^club

Haha, da müsstest du zuerst ein Brett unter die Matratze legen, bei dem dünnen Drahtgeflecht hier würdest du dir das Kreuz brechen;-) Und welches Krankenhaus kann sich Bettdecken aus gelber Seide leisten- allenfalls für vermögende Privatzahler;-)

The bedroom looks modern, the bathroom less so. And I must admit the room wouldn't stay as tidy if I was living there. :-)

Gudrun ^club has replied to tiabunna ^club

Thanks a lot, George! Yes, the bathroom is very 1920ies- my grandmother used to have a bathtub and basin just like this.
