In 1927, architects Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret built a semi-detached house for the Werkbund exhibition "Die Wohnung”. Since 2006, it has been home to the Weissenhof Museum. It is the only house in the Weissenhof Estate that is open to visitors. In 2016, the building, together with Le Corbusier's neighboring single-family house, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The two halves of the house have different focuses. The left half of the house presents the origins and history of the estate and its 17 architects. In the right half of the house, visitors can experience Le Corbusier's 1927 design of a “transformable house” with its restored floor plan, adaptable living space, furnishings and color scheme.
