Guided Story
Can you feel the interplay of light and shadow on the facade? That's the magic of Mies van der Rohe's design. Look to your left, and you'll see Haus Lange, just a short distance away. These two houses are like siblings, telling a shared story. Did you know that Mies van der Rohe experimented with the open floor plan here? It was revolutionary at the time! Move closer to the windows and you'll notice how the inside and outside almost seamlessly blend together. Every detail here, from the clean lines to the choice of materials, reflects Mies’ vision of modern architecture. Let the harmony of architecture and art collection inspire you.
