This spatial design, finished with luxurious and vibrant marbles, woods and silks, combined innovative architectural design with the cultural conception that the upper middle class had of itself
Loos uses the different levels of the Raumplan to create a careful architectural promenade from outside to inside. The first entrance way is low, with strong but dark colors such as deep green/blue tiles. This opens onto a cloakroom area that is generous in plan, brighter with white walls and a big window, but still low. At the far end a short, modest staircase takes the visitor round a right-angle bend, emerging dramatically between marble pillars into the double-height, open-plan sitting room.
The promenade continues past the raised dining room to the upper floors of the house, the Raumplan providing unusual and exciting views into adjacent rooms. On the top level is a roof terrace, with a window in the freestanding end wall to frame the view of Prague cathedral.
