Project 1 Villa Muller-Geometry

Adol Loos created "Raumplan" which means spatial plan for his architecture. He states, that “one can only bear the the stay in the narrow and low-ceiled loges and galleries, because they are in an open spatial connection to the high, continuous main hall.”

The floor plan of the house has an aspect ratio of 3:2. The long side has a canon of 3a and the short side canon of 2a.That wit it is  possible to draw 3 vertical rectangle, with an aspect ratio of a to 2a, over the floor plan. The shape of the floor plan has also 2 symmetry-axis(1,4), but only the axis 1, which is identical with the facade axis 1, is important for the internal.

Project 1 Villa Muller-Structual and Circulation

• Horizontal circulation (drawings show entry level and raised ground level of the living program): Access to the living room from the entrance is via an alcove approached by a short flight of stairs and a turn. A number of routes intersect in front of the alcove. The route on the left lead up to the boudoir while the route to the right provide access to the dining room and the central stairs to go upward for private space.

• Vertical circulation : The space of raumplan is connected vertically at different levels. The vertical movement takes place via the central staircase, service staircase and elevator.
