Description
Basically, this villa combines everything that a building from the 1930s can have in terms of design ideas. The rounded shapes, which support a balcony on the first floor, are deliberately placed at the street crossing so that the building can unfold its full effect. The roof can be used as a roof terrace. In contrast to the semicircular shapes, the angular shapes are also underlined. The house consists of two cubes.
