Little is known about these 1929 designs for residences. Wohnhaus I was a rectangular, three-story building with a curved roof and terrace. Curving shapes were rare in Breuer's architecture, though they appeared more regularly after Breuer emigrated to London and may have been a response to the modern architecture of Berthold Lubetkin and Serge Chermayeff. Wohnhaus II was a square building with an accessible roof terrace over the main living space, a large central hall and bedrooms on the mezzanine level. It also included a garage and chauffeur's apartment on the ground floor.
