Minimalist facade, elongated horizontal windows, glazed risalits, flat roof, and seven stories — Sprecher’s “skyscraper” shocked city inhabitants in 1929.

Each house has a story to tell, reflecting a city and country’s social and political changes like a mirror. Events lay on the surfaces over time, leaving physical imprints in space. Each building can be open in different contexts depending on which story you want to hear.
