Metal Prototype House.

 This is a Мetal Prototype House, which is also known as a Steel House. It was built in 1927 by architects Georg Muche and Richard Paulick in Törten Estate. Its area is 90 m². This house has steel plate construction and has no basement. On the Photo Collage 1. The Outside of the House there is the house from outside, you can see that it is made of two different sized cubes, which intersect with each other, because of this fact, inside of the house, rooms have different heights.

 This house reminds me of a small ship, or submarine, because of its strict shape and unusual for buildings windows. Actually, it has 2 types of windows, which you can see on Photo Collage 2. Windows. First - round windows, which you can usually find in ships, not in buildings; and second one - squared glass windows, which are placed vertically and have room height, which is not typical for living buildings also, and I think that this way of placing windows makes this small house look a bit higher. Moreover, doors of this house also create the atmosphere of a submarine, they look so massive, so strict, not like typical doors, which we all are used to.

On Photo Collage 3. The Interior. , you can see the inside of this house. It is full of light, it is really great, but still, for me, this house has a kind of industrial, fabric, boat look, because of: the doors, which are steel from inside, and it does not give a look of a home to the interior; strange windows, which also does not remind of home and they just make the feeling of being in submarine more powerful; tubes, which are not hidden, also give some industrial appearance to this place; and lamps, which are done in very strict way and also give you a feeling as if you were in a real boat. I think that this house was great in terms of new architecture style, its idea is also interesting and construction of this kind of house does not take a long time, which is good, but it has some disadvantages: the main material is metal. First words which come to my mind when i think about metal are: rough, strict. This material does not have a feeling of home and coziness, I think that door at home must make people feel that they are welcome, and also feel the warmth. Furthermore, from the practical point of view, such things as ventilation and thermal insulation can have some problems inside of the house, which is done of steel, so it can even be uninhabitable.
