Stubenrauchstrasse 48 attracts attention not only as a "point de vue" towards Eschenstrasse. It is the individually composed façade architecture, which blends harmoniously into the streetscape and develops its own character through the asymmetry of the design elements.
The building was designed by Albert Teske and built in 1910 by the architect and client Otto Völker. In terms of style, the building is classified as reform architecture, and in terms of time as pre-modern: Traditional building forms and regional materials find their way back into residential construction and the window becomes a design element in its own right. In contrast to the stucco ornamentation of the Wilhelminian era, the decor is formed by unconventional window formats, bay windows and artistic mullion and transom structures. The roof picks up on the formal language of the façade and forms a successful conclusion with interlocking hipped roofs and a roof pavilion.
The attention to detail continues inside the house. A red stair runner welcomes residents and visitors and forms a colorful contrast to the wall-panelled foyer in blue-grey and white. Transomed skylights and door hatches alternate with finely structured coffered doors and turned banisters. A skylight in the center of the multi-run staircase allows plenty of light to flood the four floors.
The top floor has not yet been developed, but planning permission has been granted to develop the top floor. A spacious apartment can be created here.
