The living and studio house Wach is located at Emmericher Straße 28 in Düsseldorf-Golzheim. It was built from 1931 to 1933 according to Karl Wach. Due to the free composition of the cubes and areas, it was groundbreaking for the modern house architecture of the 1950s. For the first time, exposed concrete was used in the Düsseldorf residential building as a building material. The front house is two -storey, the rear building is one. A pent roof falls diagonally from the front to the back house. The facade on the street shows an asymmetrical composition of transverse windows. A window tape made of round windows is located above the entrance area. It is a motif from shipbuilding and comes from the exterior design of ocean vapors.
