10 houses in Bauhaus style

The Bauhaus school included some of the most important artists of the 20th century, legendary painters such as Paul Klee and Wassily Kandiskij, but also architects and designers such as Mies van der Rohe, Walter Gropius or Marcel Breuer. In just 14 years of existence, each of them has left its mark worldwide, still inspiring for the aesthetics shaped by an original blend of modernity, functionalism, austerity and attention to social issues. With function before form, the Bauhaus style has developed an idea of happy living based on the less is more, on a minimalist and linear design affordable to people. The buildings designed by Gropius and the other architects of the school founded in 1919 in Weimar, Germany, reveal a love for rigorous, geometric, squared forms, flat roofs, right angles, ribbon windows and materials such as steel, glass, plywood and plastic.
