Unexpected insights into the long process of designing the “Hexenhaus,” one of the most iconic buildings of the late 20th century. Between 1985 and 2002, British architects Alison and Peter Smithson transformed a modest vernacular cottage into one of the most remarkable houses of the late twentieth century: the Hexenhaus. They completely redefined the relationship between the house and its surrounding landscape by means of more than twenty small additions, extractions, satellite buildings, furnishing operations and alternative routes. During this long process, they established a close relationship with their client, the owner of the furniture company Tecta, Axel Bruchhäuser, who still lives there to this day and is a key figure when it comes to comprehending the house’s design.
