The story

Story · Looshaus

  • en

You're standing on Michaelerplatz in Vienna, right across from the Hofburg. Look at the building at number 3, between Herrengasse and Kohlmarkt. That's the Looshaus, designed by Adolf Loos. Today it may look tidy and a bit plain. Around 1910, it was a full-blown scandal.
