Atelierhaus des Laveshauses
Atelierhaus des Laveshauses stands in Hanover as a classicist building designed by Georg Ludwig Friedrich Laves. Its cubic form carries Ionic columns and a triangular pediment.
Completed in 1824, the house combined living quarters with rental rooms, arranging its largest south-facing rooms for light. The city acquired it in 1908, after which offices occupied the building. During the Nazi regime, a health office used the building and became involved in the regime’s crimes. The building survived the war with only minimal damage.
In the early 1990s, the building underwent renovation and became the headquarters of the Architects’ Chamber of Lower Saxony. The vestibule, planned for festivities, has marble tiles and freestanding columns. Three late-seventeenth-century canvas paintings show scenes from Greek and Roman mythology, among the few original furnishings still preserved.
