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.

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.
