The local context

Private House in Potsdam

Potsdam's 2 Private House entries span a century of domestic architecture. Mies van der Rohe's House Riehl — his first independent commission, completed in 1907 — is a pitched-roof villa that reveals the future Modernist master still working within classical conventions: symmetry, traditional materials, and a dialogue with the surrounding garden.

Brandlhuber+Emde, Burlon's Antivilla, completed over a hundred years later, converts a former lingerie factory through subtraction rather than addition: walls punched out to create windows, the industrial shell left raw, minimal insulation visible as surface texture. The contrast between Mies's careful domestic refinement and Brandlhuber's radical adaptive reuse captures the full spectrum of what a private house in Potsdam can mean.
