  • The Höfter residential complex is located in Freimann, a northern outskirt of Munich, and consists of a front (1970–1972) and a rear building (1962–1963).

The exposed concrete façade of the front building is characterized by deep loggias and balconies, partly made of prefabricated concrete parts, and is complemented by a striking color scheme in the form of the railings made of corrugated wire mesh painted in yellow. The complex containes 41 apartments as well as a store on the ground floor.
