Stahlhaus Dessau, Metal experimental house in Dessau-Roßlau, Germany.
The Steel House features a grey, white, and black exterior with circular tilt windows and covers ninety square meters of living space.
Georg Muche and Richard Paulick collaborated with Leipzig safe manufacturer Kästner AG to construct this innovative steel-paneled residence between 1926 and 1927.
The Steel House represents the Bauhaus movement's exploration of standardized, modular metal housing systems during the modernist architectural period in Germany.
The structure contains two different height levels, with elevated ceilings in the living room and one bedroom, plus insulation layers between metal shell and interior.
The building incorporates Torfoleum, an insulating material made from peat, between its inner layer of plastered slag blocks and the three-millimeter-thick steel exterior.
