Steiner House

Residential Buildings

Steiner House is a residential building at Sankt-Veit-Gasse 10 in the Hietzing district of Vienna, Austria, designed and built by architect Adolf Loos in 1910 early in his career. The house became a widely cited example of rationalist architecture and marked a turning point in how Loos's work was received. It combines a refined, intricate interior with a plain, unthreatening exterior, presenting a white stuccoed facade and a curved roof shaped to satisfy local building regulations while keeping the street front unadorned and functional.
