Haus X1

Haus X1 is a residential building with contemporary architecture in Hahnwald, distinguished by red cubes on the street side and a fully glazed garden side. The two-story structure uses prestressed concrete and a steel-reinforced concrete shell that spans the entire building.

Architect Peter Neufert built this house between 1961 and 1962 as his own residence. The project brought contemporary architectural principles into a traditional villa district.

The house stands in Hahnwald, an affluent residential neighborhood where it represents modern living design. Visitors can observe how contemporary architecture was integrated into an established villa district.

The building sits in a quiet residential area and is best viewed from the sidewalk. The street-facing facade offers the clearest view of the distinctive red cube design.

The red cubes on the street facade vary in size and contain the building's window and door openings. This playful approach contrasts sharply with the fully transparent garden side.
