BauHaus Properties Limited is one of the foremost wholly integrated property development companies specializing in the Investment, Development, Construction and Management of prime residential, retail, commercial, multi-use and special purpose properties. Backed by a deep understanding of the markets, a commitment to quality and a strong track record of success, BauHaus has over the years developed some of the premier properties that define the skyline and landscape in the country. Our Design Concept is in our name; “BauHaus”.
Bauhaus (literally meaning ‘building house’ in German) was an architecture and art concept introduced in 1919 by Walter Groupius in Weimar, then the capital of post WWI Germany. The most basic tenet of the Bauhaus which is also the centrepiece of our building is form follows function.
We chose the name BauHaus Properties because the legacy of the Bauhaus endures and its principles can be seen in much of what we think of today as contemporary or modern design, whether it’s in the homes we live in or the typography we use. Our streamlined kitchen products, cantilevered chairs, stacking tables, ‘modern’ lamps, white walls and open plan living spaces can all trace their origins back to the Bauhaus.
So what makes Bauhaus so important with relation to modernism and contemporary structures? Well, the answer is simple. In every single modern building there are two distinctive options that an architect can choose when designing a scheme for their client.
You can play it safe and basically replicate one of the other hundreds of modernist buildings that are dotted around cities such as London and New York. Or you can take a step back and apply the general principles of the Bauhaus, ending up with a remarkable looking building, simply by using geometric shapes and unusual angles. We personally ensure that the buildings we develop have been designed in such a way, that they subtly reference the Bauhaus, with the inclusion of modern design styles.
BauHaus approach to business and overarching values are reflected in our definition of who we are, which includes the following:
At BauHaus, We understand that your home is a reflection of you and your lifestyle and that every milestone in your life is as important as the next so whether you are looking to live close to your work or school, move into something a little bigger as your family grows or have a maintenance free lifestyle, BauHaus Properties offers new homes that fit any lifestyle, within the most sought-after locations in Accra and the rest of the country.
Superior quality, detail, luxury, security and perfection are the standards that we demand throughout our projects. From the design-driven, cutting-edge facades created in collaboration with some of the world’s renowned architects to the flawless interiors designed exclusively for our clients; our properties are truly iconic.
In all our BauHaus Developments, We provide “in house” property management which has been proven to be extremely effective in developing solid relationships with our tenants, maintaining strong occupancy, and maximizing property value and providing our tenants with quality facilities that reflect a pride of ownership.
Our commitment to you is simple; to deliver a landmark property that is the pride of every owner at the most reasonable price possible. We recognize that each client has a unique identity and join forces with them by customizing our array of developments to suit their needs and enhance their lifestyle or bottom line. This unique relational-based approach distinguishes us from the competition.
At BauHaus Properties we look at things a bit differently: we don't view our property buyers as just part of our business, but rather as part of our family. We don't see the neighbourhoods we develop as locations where we have buildings but as the communities we live in. That’s why we take the time, effort and resources to ensure each and every BauHaus Development is one that will make your family and friends jealous, all at affordable prices! Along with 24/7 maintenance you'll never be left hanging again with a maintenance issue.
We have carefully chosen the communities we build within, keeping in mind that any new home purchase at any stage of your life is a momentous occasion. We invite you to experience the value of a BauHaus Development.
Bauhaus is a German expression meaning house for building. In 1919, the economy in Germany was collapsing after a crushing war. Architect Walter Gropius was appointed to head a new institution that would help rebuild the country and form a new social order. Called the Bauhaus, the Institution called for a new "rational" social housing for the workers. Bauhaus architects rejected "bourgeois" details such as cornices, eaves, and decorative details. They wanted to use principles of Classical architecture in their most pure form: without ornamentation of any kind.
Generally, Bauhaus buildings have flat roofs, smooth façades, and cubic shapes. Colors are white, gray, beige, or black. Floor plans are open and furniture is functional. Popular construction methods of the time—steel-frame with glass curtain walls—were used for both residential and commercial architecture. More than any architectural style, however, the Bauhaus Manifesto promoted principles of creative collaboration—planning, designing, drafting, and construction are tasks equal within the building collective. Art and craft should have no difference.
We think of white walls, clean lines and the use of glass and concrete as modern and contemporary ideas. And they are, except that those same ideas have been around for nearly a century now thanks to the unique influence of the Bauhaus school of design, art and architecture...
The Bauhaus was founded in Weimar, Germany in 1919 by architect, Walter Gropius with the aim of bridging the gap between art, design and industry and unifying all three. It was a school where students received theoretical and practical training in all of the fine arts -ceramics, murals, stained glass, typography, metalwork, book binding, stone sculpture and furniture-making – and learned to combine these fine art skills with new technologies to design and manufacture products that were both beautiful and practical.
The Bauhaus school originated in Weimar (1919), moved to Dessau (1925), and disbanded when the Nazis rose to power. Walter Gropius, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and other Bauhaus leaders migrated to the United States. The term International Style was applied to the American form of Bauhaus architecture.
