Description

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 New Brutalist architects Alison (1928-93) and Peter Smithson (1923-2003) transformed a modest vernacular cottage into one of the most remarkable residences of the late 20th century: the Hexenhaus.
