• Resumen

  • The attribution of Haus Warnholtz, a residence in Berlin dating from 1914–15, to Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, closes a long-standing gap in the architect's early work. Documents in Berlin's Landesarchiv confirm that the house, which was demolished in 1959, was designed for Johann Warnholtz, director of the Deutsch-Ostafrikanische Gesellschaft. The house, a simple, symmetrical building with ground-floor French windows and a heavy mansard roof, expressed its modernity by being unspectacular, a modernity embracing evolution through reduction, rather than revolution.
