The Masters' Houses, commissioned by the city of Dessau, were built in 1925/26 in a pine grove not far from the Bauhaus Building. Three identical semi-detached houses and one detached house were to be built according to Walter Gropius' ideas. In 1996, the Bauhaus including the Masters’ Houses was declared an UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Masters' houses are considered a prime example of white modernism and were intended to demonstrate a new way of living. As in the Bauhaus building itself, the individual parts of the Masters' Houses were designed according to their function.
