Masters' Houses, Architectural ensemble and museum in Dessau-Rosslau, Germany.
The Masters' Houses include three semi-detached houses and one director's house, featuring white cubic structures with large windows and integrated terraces.
Walter Gropius designed and constructed these residences between 1925 and 1926 for Bauhaus faculty members, including artists Kandinsky, Klee, and Moholy-Nagy.
The buildings demonstrate rational construction principles through standardized elements, establishing new standards for residential architecture in the twentieth century.
Visitors can explore the preserved interiors with built-in furniture, Marcel Breuer designs, and innovative spatial arrangements that influenced modern living concepts.
The houses incorporate asymmetrical window arrangements and rotated floor plans, creating different lighting conditions for each residential unit throughout the day.
