House Scheu

One of the first residential projects by the master of space Adolf Loos in Vienna. An unusually modular house that makes excellent use of walkable terraces, significantly expanding the living space and providing another example of the connection between the exterior and the interior.

The 4x4 module is sometimes evident in the composition of the window openings. On the top floor, there is a separate apartment. Even though the builder did not realize all of the master's spatial discoveries (different ceiling heights, vertical continuous spaces, staircase systems, etc.), Scheu's house can be classified among the classic examples of Loos's modern villas, which continue to disturb the thinking of architects even after 90 years...
