Hans Scharoun, Zermützel, Germany, 1937-1938
OfHouses guest curated by Bart Lootsma : “The house for the gallerist Ferdinand Möller by Hans Scharoun is a house that camouflages on its drawings and from the side of the entrance as a non-descript traditional house, only to betray the Nazi-bureaucrats who had to give the permits when it was built. After entering the house, it opens up to the landscape in the most spectacular way, offering a series of spatial sensations, forcing the gaze through the trees down to the water. The landscape was already there, maybe, but it was never seen this way before Scharoun showed it to us.“
