Loos pavilion
By Piero Vidoni
When I started to work with Villa Muller I immediately noticed that the interior spatial arrangement is rather complex compared to the exterior skin. However, the complexity is organised around the space within a rectangular prism; The interior result an interlocking of different spaces against each other, like a big bang of surfaces and lines. According to Loos, every house must show in the exterior a quiet and simple look, the interior instead should represent the owner’s taste and status. We can identify this attitude in the figure of a cube which hide in its inside an all universe.
Loos pavilion Due to the complexity of this universe, I firstly approach the house taking out a fragment, so I immediately identify what was the heart of the house: the boudoir. The Raumplan stairs wraps around the boudoir, in turn the house and its interlocking volumes wraps around the Raumplan stairs, creating a double layer of protection for the boudoir, the heart of the Muller House.
