August Endell was a German Jugendstil architect. He is noted for many designs, including the Elvira Studio in München (Munich) by commission of his friend Hermann Obrist, built in 1897 and destroyed in 1944. It had an imaginative motif evocative of a breaking wave or a dragon that dominated the facade. The building incorporated elements of styles by Antoni Gaudí and Hector Guimard.
