Masters' Houses (Bauhaus Dessau)
Masters' Houses at Bauhaus Dessau are residential buildings designed for the school's leading instructors. Built in 1925–26 by architects Walter Gropius and Carl Fieger, they exemplify modernist architecture with functional design, flat roofs, and open interiors. The houses are arranged to promote community while providing comfortable, practical living spaces that reflect Bauhaus principles of simplicity, craftsmanship, and unity of form and function. They served both as homes and as spaces to demonstrate innovative architecture and design ideas, inspiring modern residential architecture worldwide. Today, they are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site and a testament to Bauhaus's educational and architectural legacy.
