In the summer of 1927 the Weissenhofsiedlung housing exhibition on the outskirts of Stuttgart was inaugurated. The exhibiton would become the most important manifestation of modern architecture. The only invited architect from Austria was Josef Frank. He contributed with a two-family house, with stucco facades, a flat roof, horizontal windows, and large glazed openings. He furnished the house with furniture from his own interior firm Haus & Garten: overstuffed lounge chairs, cretonne decorated in strong colorful patterns, and brass lighting fixtures with sewn lampshades. This book explores Frank’s architecture and includes plans and elevations.
