The residential building is located in one of Düsseldorf's most beautiful residential areas, the Weiße Siedlung in Golzheim. This settlement was built by the National Socialists in 1935/36 over a period of one and a half years as part of the propaganda exhibition “Reichsausstellung Schaffendes Volk” (Reich Exhibition of the Creative People) as a model housing estate. The settlement, consisting of 95 whitewashed brick houses, formed the southeastern end of the former exhibition grounds and is located in the immediate vicinity of the Rhine. The settlement served the Nazis as a prime example of the ideal type of an artists' and workers' settlement based on National Socialist principles. All houses were built according to so-called model designs and, with their rural, village-like character, complied with the guidelines of the “Gauheimstättenamt” (Gau Housing Office).
Since the space requirements could not be accommodated in the existing building, it was decided to replace it with a new building. Despite strict specifications in the development plan, the usable space was doubled within the given building envelope through appropriate floor plan organization. This was achieved through an extremely simple structure without dormers or other roof structures that could be perceived as disruptive. Thanks to its formal restraint, the new building blends gently into its architectural surroundings without negating its contemporary nature in relation to 21st-century architecture.
