The house was designed and built in 1929 by the renowned architects Moser and Kopp. This distinctive building marks an important transition period in urban development, evolving from a rural village to a modern metropolitan area. Designed with traditional architectural principles, it spatially terminates the development along a district street. Amidst the dense development, this unadorned building stands out as a visually striking contrast.
The building is composed of a base made of rammed concrete and brick, topped with a wooden frame construction that is protected from moisture. It features a gable roof covered with tiles. Three sides of the facade—east, south, and west—are clad in fiber cement shingles, while the north facade is likely a later addition, covered with horizontal metal slats. The main rooms are situated on the south-facing gable facade, overlooking an elongated garden.
The strip foundations of the base are meticulously integrated into the terrain, forming the basement. The basement features a lower flat floor level compared to the rest of the basement. While the stairs and basement are accessible, the ceiling heights are generally quite low. The ground floor houses the living room and various utility rooms, while the upper floor contains the bedroom and bathroom. A pull-out staircase from the upper floor corridor provides access to the converted, accessible attic.
