February 26th, 2014

This article is more than a year old and may contain information that is out of date. Sorry about that.

Landhaus Lemke, on Lake Obersee in Berlin, was built as a private residence by Mies van der Rohe in 1933, at the same time that he was director of the Bauhaus. Large glazed openings face the lakeside whilst smaller windows on the street side guarantee privacy.
