The VitraHaus at Charles-Eames-Straße 1 in Weil am Rhein was designed by Herzog & de Meuron for Vitra, which commissioned it in 2006. It was built from 2006 to 2009 and opened in February 2010. The article describes stacked pitched-roof forms and gives no materials or dimensions.
It has twelve houses, with five forming the base, stacked across five stories. It serves as a dedicated space, flagship store and cafe for Vitra's Home Collection.
About 350,000 people visit each year. A loft hosts rotating designer showcases. Vitra commissioned the building in 2006, and it opened in February 2010, about four years later. Visitors use it as both a store and a showcase. The Postmodernism tag is an assumption, since the article names no style.
