The Domnicks wanted to share their home with their paintings and at the same time make them accessible to the public. Together with architect Paul Stohrer, they developed a residential museum. The building, surrounded by a tall beech hedge, blends harmoniously into the gently sloping terrain. From the outside, it looks like a fortress, with only a few windows breaking through the robust concrete walls. This should ensure the security of your collection.
Inside, the villa is open and yet angled, as the large rooms are subdivided by partition walls. They are all kept in shades of grey and white to create a uniform colour concept. Different floors separate the functions from each other: carpets in the private area and light-coloured exposed aggregate concrete in the museum rooms. From 1977, the Domnick couple expanded their “Living in the Museum” project to include a sculpture garden in the west of the house. Various sculptures made of iron, steel and bronze are presented here against the picturesque backdrop of the Swabian Alb.

Editor’s tip
When close by Stuttgart, a visit to the Weissenhof should be on the bucket list and also a visit to the Poggenpohl Store down town.
