Description:

Das Ideale Heim is a long-established Swiss architecture, interior design and lifestyle magazine, first published in 1927. Published monthly in German by Archithema Verlag, it has served both professional architects and design enthusiasts. Throughout its publication history, the magazine has documented Swiss and international architecture, interior decoration, furniture design, kitchen and bathroom trends, garden planning and contemporary living culture, supported by high-quality photographs and architectural illustrations.

The August 1949 issue (XXIII. Jahrgang, Nr. 8) presents a selection of residential architecture, interior design and garden-related projects. One of the featured contributions is “Ein Sommerhaus” (A Summer House), presenting a summer residence designed by René Herter. Another article, “Elegante Mietwohnungen” (Elegant Rental Apartments), examines stylish residential apartments at Werdmühleplatz, highlighting contemporary urban living and apartment design.

Further contents explore ornamental garden plants and landscape arrangements under the heading “Ornamentale Gartenpflanzen”. The issue also introduces decorative fabrics designed by artists and workshops specialising in hand printing. Another architectural feature, “Eine kleine Wohnkolonie in Rorschach” (A Small Residential Colony in Rorschach), examines a compact residential development in the Swiss town of Rorschach. Together, these contributions provide an illustrated overview of Swiss residential architecture, decorative arts, garden design and living culture in the late 1940s.
