House Steiner

Austrian painter Lilly Steiner had her Vienna villa designed by the eccentric Adolf Loos. As one of the first, she was able to experience the master's Raumplan. Although the house appears to be two stories from the street, a view from the garden reveals yet another "attic" level. The roof of the house is segmented (1910!!!) covered with metal roofing (1910!!!). The window openings are designed not according to external influence, but according to the demands of internal use (1910!!!).
Currently, the villa serves its purpose, which is residential living. Unlike the Brno Tugendhat Villa or Müller Villa in Prague, it is not open to the public, which is a shame. Nonetheless, it is great that this once-extravagant house, which some people looked down upon,
is still able to fulfill its function even after 100 years. This simply shows that Loos was no second-rate architect and saw the truth.
