Step back to the Roaring Twenties: Taut’s Home (Tautes Heim) is an architecture, design and Bauhaus lover’s dream. This house, which was designed by the famous German architect Bruno Taut in the 1920s, is part of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Hufeisensiedlung Berlin – a heritage protected housing estate and celebrated icon of the classical modern era.
The house can host 2-4 guests and has been carefully renovated and furnished with great attention to detail. From its flooring, furniture, interior colours to the door handles, everything is like it once was. Even the garden has retained its original aesthetic. You’re practically living in a museum, without having to sacrifice modern amenities like Wi-Fi or central heating. In summer you can tie up a hammock between old apple trees, wander through the beautiful estate and leafy, green surroundings or catch the underground to the vibrant centre of Berlin.
Taut’s Home received the European Union Prize for Cultural Heritage and Europa Nostra Award for its outstanding contribution to and excellence in monument preservation, as well as the Berlin Monument Award in 2013. The owners also offer guided tours through the estate and have recently published an architectural guide book. Gift vouchers can be be obtained on request.
