Haus am Horn

Haus am Horn is a residential building of modern design in Weimar, planned according to new principles for everyday living and functionality. The structure features a square floor plan with a central living room surrounded by children's rooms, a kitchen, and other domestic spaces.

The building was created in 1923 as an experimental house for the first Bauhaus exhibition under Georg Muche's direction. It was meant to showcase new ideas for industrial housing production and became a model for modern architecture and residential culture.

The house embodies Bauhaus philosophy through functional furniture and open spatial concepts that were meant to rethink daily living. The interior displays how designers and craftspeople from the school worked together to create homes that could be both straightforward and effective at the same time.

The space is open to visitors and you can view the room layout and original furnishings in person. It is worth taking time to explore all areas and understand how each space was designed to function.

The house was built with slag concrete blocks, an innovative material meant to save costs and be readily available at the time. The raised clerestory window stands out for flooding the living area with natural light and significantly changing how the space feels.
