Villa Muller

Villa Muller can only be described as a masterpiece of deception, in the way how this apparently simple exterior bears a juxtaposing, multi-layered and complex interior. Villa Muller was heralded as "the most synthetic expression of the architect's (Loos') creative ability, the culmination of a lifetime of architectural and theoretical activity". The building's mystical nature is yet again reinforced by the lack of communication between interior and exterior. The walls have no interior cavity, their thicknesses are virtually unknown and the small windows barely convey transparency.
