The construction site hut for the Schwarzwaldschule I project (1912–13) was built of wood with a shallow roof to accommodate for the regional alpine conditions of the Semmering [Drawings of these projects by Adolf Loos held in the Graphische Sammlung Albertina, Vienna].
Figure 16
Unrealized proposal for a vacation house in Gastein (1922). Here the fusion of the urban-rural disparity is articulated in the design and the building uncannily pre-empts both the cubic form of the Villa Müller and the regional materials of the Landhaus Khuner [Courtesy of Heinrich Kulka].

The elevation of a vacation home for Leo Prinz Sapieha shows a pitched roofed structure (1918). The location for this unrealized project is unknown [Drawings of these projects by Adolf Loos held in the Graphische Sammlung Albertina, Vienna].

As an icon of architectural Modernism the mute cubic form of the Villa Müller (1930) bestows very little of the interior and is situated on a sloping suburban site overlooking Prague [Photographs by Martin Gerlach held in the Graphische Sammlung Albertina, Vienna].
