Villa Muller

Adolf Loos' Villa Muller was built in 1930 in Prague. In this villa he created a distinction between outside and inside, between public and private space. He uses a cubic unadorned exterior, which is total paradox to what is exclosed inside where rich materials and textures define spaces.

Villa Muller is an example of Loos' Raumplan. He explains this by stating,
"My architecture is not conceived by drawings, but by spaces. I do not draw plans, facades or sections... For me, the ground floor, first floor do not exist... There are only interconnected continual spaces, rooms, halls, terraces... Each space needs a different height... These spaces are connected so that ascent and descent are not only unnoticeable, but at the same time functional."
