NOCH 66680 - Bauhaus model house “Haus am Horn”Model DetailsOver 100 Years of Contemporary Building and LivingBauhaus Model House "Haus am Horn"The "Haus am Horn" was planned in 1923 for the first Bauhaus exhibition in Weimar and built in just a few months. The design, by Bauhaus master Georg Muche, was revolutionary. The construction consistently incorporated the latest building materials and insights from the research and teaching of the Weimar school. It is the first and only architectural project realized by the Bauhaus in Weimar. With the "Haus am Horn," the various Bauhaus workshops illustrated their vision of contemporary living. All rooms are arranged around the central, interior living space, which is illuminated by a skylight. A special feature of the floor plan is the clear allocation of rooms according to their functions.For example, instead of a large eat-in kitchen, the kitchen was intended solely for food preparation, and the dining room was meant only for eating. The house featured several smaller, but clearly structured rooms, complemented by state-of-the-art technology such as central heating in the basement and gas-fired instantaneous water heaters in the bathroom and kitchen. Modern household appliances like a gas stove, vacuum cleaner, and coffee maker were designed to ease the housewife's workload, freeing up more time for intellectual pursuits. Consequently, there were no additional rooms for domestic staff: the family of three to four was expected to manage independently. Thus, the "Haus am Horn" model house reflects a changing social reality. It is therefore not surprising that the building sparked controversy among the press and critics at the exhibition's opening. The construction work was carried out by the architectural firm of Walter Gropius, founder and first director of the Bauhaus. Marcel Breuer, a student at the Bauhaus in Weimar at the time largely unknown, designed his first furniture for the interiors, including a dressing table for the lady of the house—his journeyman's piece. Beyond the turmoil of the 1930s and 1940s, the "Haus am Horn" continues to polarize opinions. For proponents of the Bauhaus and its design principles, its simplicity and functionality make it an elegant and timeless building that anticipated societal developments and demonstrated architectural solutions over 100 years ago: an architectural icon that has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996. The NOCH laser-cut kit is precisely reproduced at an architectural scale of 1:100 and is therefore also ideally suited for use in HO scale. The kit is precisely laser-cut from cardboard. The packaging avoids unnecessary plastic. Detailed assembly instructions and the appropriate laser-cut adhesive are included. The "Haus am Horn" model kit, faithfully reproduced from Georg Muche's design, is licensed by bauhaus-archiv GmbH Berlin. It bears the logo based on the symbol designed by Oskar Schlemmer at the Bauhaus.Note: Model building item. Not a toy! Not suitable for children under 14 years.
