Designed by Gatermann + Schossig, Haus Neufert is located in Cologne, Germany. The task was to construct a new, one-person building adjacent to the X1 heritage-protected house that was built by Peter Neufert in 1959-62. The rooms of the house are arranged around the patio, allowing the penetration of light into the core of the house. The facility rooms are located to the north-west in order to ensure sound and energy protection on the street side of the building. The design features two high rooms that create volume, provide wide views into the park and let the sun shine into the house from several sides. The interior is suffused with light and, thanks to the merging rooms, provides a multitude of transparent perspectives and views of nature and the sky.
