- The Villa of Milada and František Müller in Prague, Czech Republic, built between 1928 and 1930, is the masterpiece of the architect Adolf Loos. He made original use of the concept of the so-called Raumplan and selected and designed the furnishings of the villa. In 1997-2000 the villa was restored and opened to the public as a cultural monument. We highly recommend a visit!
I'm huge fan of Loos work and specially the interiors. Find good information about it is difficult so thank you very much for doing this video. Greetings from São Paulo, Brazil.
Thank you for this and your other videos. Absolutely magnificient.
The person narrating would make an amazing real estate agent.
This is such a great vid. Your passion is infectious….
fantastically filmed presentation, thank you
A very interesting visit! Thank you.
Now I understand why Czech Republic was shattered... they were at the top of European Culture... I am watching now your video on the Tugendhat Villa...
Thanks for taking the time and effort to relive this vital architecture.
Thank You for this tour!
Great video ı used it tı get more information for my 102 jury😊
very surprising architecture ! thank you for sharing this . I get the whole vibe creating of the spaces ! It's like entering different worlds in one place . It has a lot of privacy and cocooning quality !
It's certainly not a multimillion bling bling house like those in hollywood ! thank God there are people with great taste indeed !
Excellent- thank you for introducing me to original content
thank for this - now it is on my must-visit list for the next time when I'm in Prague.
You should book your tour in advance. When I went some twenty years ago, the tour was limited to ten people at a time, and happened just half a dozen times a day.
Super
The discreet, recessed entry, the compressed vestibule and entry spaces opening into a generous space, and the elaborate manipulation of space overall are reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright. In other ways, they are, of course, very different architects, but Wright, like Loos, designed space.
good!!
An aesthetically challenging (to say the least) mix of Brutalist and De Stijl with some dining chairs that would be right at home in Casa Batlló. I wanted to like this so much, but am really struggling. Getting a vibe of a Soviet prison for the wealthy or a school for the Hitler Youth. Would like to see it in person on a sunny day plus at night to see what the lighting is like. Would also love to see the balcony and roof deck furnished and landscaped- maybe with a simple water feature. Thanks for the tour. Had never heard of this place. Regards from Indiana!
I share your impressions. I know that it's hard to judge space in two dimensions, but I don't feel it to be welcoming and embracing. Instead of mysterious, as say, a Luis Barragán interior, it feels labyrinthine and disorienting. Besides the large, open room near the entrance, you don't find the modernist flow of space that you find even in Wright's Prairie Houses, not to mention Le Corbusier's or Van der Rohe's interiors. Frankly, I was expecting more. More from less? Of course, the caveat is that I have never visited in person. My impression is limited to videos.
I don't quite understand your comment specially referring to Casa Batlló... which is almost completely ORNAMENTAL..
Our occidental culture is decaying and might well be your struggle.
Brutalism started in the 50s, this building is pretty typical example of modernism/functionalism and has been built in 1930.
This is my opinion of a dream house. The low furniture and the yellow silk drapes really did it for me.

Porque no coincide el sonido del relator con la filamcion ? y menos con la traduccion. gracias-
Hi! Very nice video, Adolf Loos has inspired many younger architects.
I just want to ask about quote "I don't live on the facade, and I don't do it for the people who walk by. I do it for the people who ordered it, and I do it so that they can live well inside..."
Is this something that Loos said, explicitly?
What about the child raping thing?
Im wondering the same thing, cant find any reference for it online
The only people I ever hear say "good taste" does not exist are people who don't have especially unique or interesting taste themselves.
😮
very "prairie school" in the constant exhoing of rectangles of the low and wide proportions. especially the interior
Funny how the two unassuming villas on the front and on the side both look way better, more livable, more durable and less outdated than this "masterpiece"
I can see the Japanese influence.
I don't get it, lots of beautiful materials and clever details but it looks like an awkward place to live, a great place for one to fall and crack their skull, especially in connection with "entertaining". Fine video though, thanks for that.
The ghastly music made it quite difficult to finish watching the video. As for the house, it looks more like a hostel than a home...
Jeez, philistine much?
You could not build this house in any community with a planning board in the USA. Everyone would complain and force it to get along with the neighborhood. The house is usually the most significantly and expensive asset people own and they are fiercely protective of real estate values today. No one who builds a large building in NYC or in any major city gets to do what they want most of the time. I recall one women in an Urban Design program I took at Columbia who wanted to take all volition from architects and render all design a matter for bureaucrats. She couldn't design - she could only think regulations. And so much is decided on the basis of regs already.
Ayn Rands' Rourke was an idiotic criminal brat and would not have escaped prison time even in his day.
And I agree with those who think taste is the most subjective and self-deluding of concepts. It's almost impossible to defend rationally. Architecture is very heavily influenced by planners and boards. And apparently European are used to that. They have so many historic towns that are zealously preserved.
The statement "I don't live on the outside" is an expression of incredible aristocratic arrogance. Maybe he just didn't know how to deal with a facade and should have stuck to interior design? The ivy at least softens the stark exterior. The building looks industrial. Did Loos ever design a building with an interesting facade? It's a guess that the house was large but also built on a tight budget. The marble and period fireplace probably took a big bite out it.
The interiors aren't as interesting as F.L.Wrights and that brick fireplace shown early on looked like something in a cheap bungalow. The renaissance fireplace is splendid and all the rest of the room can do is bow to it. But he also couldn't afford to make an interior equal to it. It's also a terrible site with the sound of traffic constantly below. It is also the most unimaginative and uninteresting roof deck. Not even any kind of paving but asphalt? But what could you look at but the river of auto traffic below?
I watched the first few minutes and will come back when i cool off. I think it's a turkey and not as graceful or elegant as the Villa Savoye.
Very distracting, overbearing background music. Audio not synchronised.
A bit creepy, it needs people (but I would go to see it). I don't think I could get well in that depressing quarantine room
Horrible modernist building. The supporting structure of this edifice is sheer snobish idealism. True beauty is completely eliminated.
Generations of architects (like this one) have been brainwashed into believing these buildings are beautiful, but of course, the "untrained" eye can see beyond this nonsense.
Have you visited? The house is truly enchanting.
Dude needs to get out more.
"Interesting facade " made me laughing for couple minutes.. you may complain about limit of sunshine to the interiors but facade doesn't has to be interesting, this is not public building that people come and take photos...this not designated such like stupid Hollywood multimillion trashes . It's well design for it's own decade.. much thank to narrator 🎉
Horrible music overpowers the text, I quit watching
