The sloping roofline of the upper two storeys of these buildings in Ludwigsburg takes inspiration from the nearby Wilhelminian-style buildings, but unlike traditional buildings there is no noticeable variation to the materials used. Photo: Brigida González

The facade of the Half-long Charles buildings in Ludwigsburg feature interesting details such as a plinth that unifies the three separate towers, and a chamfered window edge detail. Photo: Brigida González

Bathroom windows feature a perforated brick detail that cleverly blends into the surrounding facade whilst protecting residents' privacy, yet still allowing daylight in.
