Small Metal House (Kleinmetallhaus), 1925-26 Type

Plan, Sections, Axonometric (drawings)

In 1925, Breuer designed a single-family dwelling to be prefabricated out of standardized industrial components. Wall, window and door panels could be hung on a modular frame, allowing the house to be constructed in three weeks. The residences could stand alone or be grouped together as row houses. Each house possessed a double height living area with bedrooms on the mezzanine level and a roof terrace.
