Olbrich House, Cultural heritage mansion in Darmstadt, Germany.

The residential structure features architectural elements characteristic of early 20th-century German design, with distinctive windows and detailed facade ornamentation.

The building represents a turning point in residential architecture, marking the transition from traditional German housing to modernist experimental designs.
