Project • By RREEL • Apartments
Appartement 24 N.C.
The Molitor building was designed and built between 1931 and 1934 by Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret. Le Corbusier installed his apartment-studio on the top two floors, and he lived there until his death in 1965. The flats on the lower floors were sold with interior layouts freely chosen by the purchasers, thanks to the innovative free plan developed by Le Corbusier. Here, the flat had three main rooms: a bedroom and a living room on the street side, an office on the courtyard side, and a kitchen and bathroom. But this original layout was completely removed in the 1970s.

Holiday House Hof Ahmen draws comparisons to the glasshouse classics of modernism
In the outer lying areas of Berlin, Holiday House Hof Ahmen by Atelier Sunder-Plassmann strives to complement a unique, listed farmhouse while developing an independent modern architectural language for a new building. Design comparisons are drawn to the classics of modernism including the ‘Glass House’ by Phillip Johnson and the ‘Farnsworth House’ by Mies van der Rohe.
Simon Schmalhorst
The existing layout of Hof Ahmen is characterized by a rectangular courtyard surrounded by grassland and local rows of trees. At the centre of the site is a listed, thatched main house, and to the east is the detached roof of the sheep barn, which was built in the 1990s as an open wooden construction.
