Exclamation-Point Architecture

The graphic designers Justus Oehler and Uta Tjaden live in a 1928 Bauhaus-style villa in Berlin, designed by Arthur Korn, who fled Nazi Germany in the 1930s. When the couple first saw the landmark house in 2003, it had been empty for three years and badly damaged by water from burst pipes. With the help of the architect Florian Höll, who largely preserved Arthur Korn’s floor plan, the villa was returned to its original design. The villa is one of only about a dozen buildings Korn designed in Berlin, not all of which survived.
