Villa Muller Adolf Loos

Muller House, Czech Rupublic Adolf Loos and the SecessionMy architecture is not conceived in plans, but in spaces cubes. I do not design floor plans, facades, sections. I design spaces. For me, there is no ground floor, first floor etc. For me, there are only contiguous, continual spaces, rooms, anterooms, terraces etc. Stories merge and spaces relate to each other. Every space requires a different height the dining room is surely higher than the pantry, thus the ceilings are set at different levels. To join these spaces in such a way that the rise and fall are not only unobservable but also practical, in this I see what is for others the great secret, although it is for me a great matter of course. Coming back to your question, it is just this spatial interaction and spatial austerity that thus far I have best been able to realise in Dr Mllers house. Adolf Loos, Shorthand record of a conversation in Plze Pilsen, 1. Known as an innovative landmark of early modernist architecture, the Villa Muller embodies Loos ideas of economy and functionality.

Adolf emphasized the heights of each room according to their function, making each height slightly different from eachother, especially when the shift from public space to private space occurs. The exterior is a simple, white, cubic faade that moves away from the ornamentation present in pre 2. Loos was particularly interested in the interplay of private and public realms inside and outside the house and within the house itself. He famously said, The building should be dumb outside and only reveal the wealth inside. The location of the site is in Stresovice, a western district of Prague. Only the eastern side of the house is facing other construction, leaving the other sides facing public place. The contrast between the interior and exterior is to present a different perspective to the public eye, on the onside, and the one of the residents themselves. This idea is reiterated within the interior plan layout. Loos often talks about the relevance of a theatre in the domestic realm, the house becoming a space where domestic spectacle could be unfolded and highlighted. He thinks carefully about the private realm and public realm within the household, bringing in strong considerations of sexuality. The private spaces are more often feminine the bedroom, dressings rooms and kitchen. These are supported by private staircases that are hidden from view but offer a view of the public spaces around them. For example, an important element of the Muller house is that a visitor, standing outside the front door, can be viewed by the private second floor areas, but he cannot see into the house himself. It creates a sense of power on behalf of the resident. On the other hand, spaces associated with men are often more open and porous, allowing free views through them. Loos also distinguishes areas amongst the household, creating different entrances, with different height levels, for the masters and servants respectively.
