Summary:

Describes a house designed by two architects, five artists and a poet. The house is in the medieval centre of Gelnhausen, near Frankfurt. It retains the scale and volume of the previous building on the site - a dilapidated 300-year-old timber structure - but differs from it in all other respects.
