Hans Scharoun and the Development of Small Apartment Floor Plans: The Residential High-Rises Romeo and Julia 1954-1959

by Markus Peter and Ulrike Tillmann

Built between 1954 and 1959, Stuttgart's Romeo and Julia tower blocks defied the staggering banality of postwar German housing with bold colors and jagged triangular balconies. Designed by Hans Scharoun (1893-1972) toward the end of a career dedicated to experimentation and the development of a new and democratic style of architecture, Romeo and Julia constitute the most daring and original attempts to recalibrate the "dwelling process."
