Haus Esters and Haus Lange
1930Krefeld, Germany
Two adjacent brick houses in Krefeld, now museums—early Mies house experiments you can compare side by side.
Modern houses of brick mass, different from Tugendhat’s glass openness. Walk between the two to compare plans, courts, and openings.
Highlights
- Brick exterior — How do heavy walls relate to Mies’s later glass walls?
- The pair of houses — Same architect, close in time: what is shared, what is client-specific?
