Villa Brejcha

20, rue Rathgeber, Strasbourg in 1902-03 by BREJCHA

Built by Josef Vincenz Brejcha⁽¹⁾ for himself, this villa singles out from its environment through its stately appearance. The façade to the street, not really symmetric, shows two gables with volutes⁽²⁾ flanking two bays preceded with a loggia adorned with sculptures and wrought iron and limited with a cornice wearing a frieze. The side façade is connected to the former one by a turret⁽³⁾ topped with a polygonal bulb roof, pastiche of that by Lutke & Backes at 1, place Broglie, achieved two years earlier.
