Description

The pure cubic basic of the building with a whitewashed facade is exciting. It is mainly just accentuated by the ribbon windows on the southeast side facing the street and on the northwest side. Above all entrances on the southeast and northwest are installated sheds as sun protection. On the left of the southeast facade a rizalit is formed on ground floor to increase the architectural tension.

The basement contains a kitchen and a room, a fuel depot, a boiler room, a corridor, a laundry room and a cellar. The ground floor is three-aisled. Two rooms and a kitchen, in the middle is a hall, which is connected with the third wing. There are a room, a vestibule with an entrance staircase, a bath and a toilet. On the 1st floor, the layout is practically repeated, with the difference that a terrace is placed above the entrance. This terrace is very nice element. It juts out over the facade and serves as a canopy for the entrance door on the ground floor. To the southwest side of the house, a staircase leads from there into the garden. This terrace-roof construction is the optical transition between inside and outside, between the house and the garden. Almost the entire area of ​​the 2nd floor is formed by a roof terrace with a railing, above which rises a tower that had a maid's room.
