The Wach residential and studio building is located at Emmericher Straße 28 in Düsseldorf-Golzheim. It was built from 1931 to 1933 according to designs by Karl Wach. Due to the free composition of the cubes and surfaces, it was groundbreaking for the modern residential architecture of the 1950s. For the first time, exposed concrete was used as a building material in Düsseldorf residential buildings. The front building is two-storey, the rear building is one-storey. A monopitch roof slopes diagonally from the front to the rear building. The façade on the street shows an asymmetrical composition of transverse windows. A ribbon of round windows is located above the entrance area. It is a motif from shipbuilding and comes from the exterior design of ocean liners.
