Facade: When the couple first saw the landmark house in 2003, it had been empty for three years and badly damaged by water from burst pipes. With the help of the architect Florian Höll, who largely preserved Arthur Korn’s floor plan, the villa was returned to its original design. The distinctive long, narrow window of the facade and the porthole beneath it form a kind of exclamation mark. Korn was influenced by the industrial architecture of the ’20s and ’30s, which relied heavily on the use of glass and steel. The villa is one of only about a dozen buildings Korn designed in Berlin, not all of which survived.
