The house was built as a densification in the Heinrich-Heine district. In the large housing estate that was built from 1968 on, only the street network reminds of the original city plan. The slight swiveling of the Schmidstrasse to the geometry of the settlement resulted in a remaining area that couldn't be built in a standardized construction.

In order to achieve a building depth that is appropriate for residential construction, the building on the upper floors cantilevers over the sidewalk. This results in an incision on the ground floor that marks the entrance.

Due to the horizontal structure of the facade, the building blends harmoniously into the settlement. The color concept of the facade with the concrete-like parapets, black wooden cladding and orange sun protection is continued on the inside with orange linoleum floor, ceiling soffits in exposed concrete and black panels.

14 rental apartments were created in the house. There are two 3-room and one 2-room apartments on each floor, as well as two 2-room apartments on the mezzanine floor.

The apartments have a generous, bright character thanks to large-format windows. In order to guarantee the intimacy for the residents, the windows have a low parapet at seat height.

In this way, a new settlement module was added that takes up the urban planning line of the existing buildings and continues it in a modern language.
