First Submission Villa Muller

The first task we were presented with, was the Villa Muller, at first it did not seem much of a task, nor did I see through the difficulty behind the building at first glance. With further inspection and research of the building, I found out that Adolf Loos created a house with a "Raumplan" which means that the building does not have a static plan, meaning that there is no first floor, second floor, just rooms, the plan of the rooms, instead the whole building, is only linked by the staircase. The Villa Muller was a perfect example of a functionalist house, with its stark exterior and its warm and intimate interior that contradicted the exterior facades, it was Adolf Loos masterpiece. Every single room held a different height.

For my Parti drawings, i focused on the enclosure, program, and the circulation. The enclosure of the building was important because of the fact that the building gave away no information from an external view, it was all sealed away inside. The function of the building played a major role in understanding the building, and that related closely to the circulation, how the whole building was linked.

Through working on this model, I have understood the intricacies of the Villa Muller
