The Müller Villa in Prague's Střešovice district is one of the most important works of modern architecture in the Czech Republic. Designed by architects Adolf Loos and Karel Lhota for businessman František Müller, the villa was built between 1928 and 1930 and is considered one of Loos's most significant works.

At first glance, the building's simple, almost austere exterior gives little indication of the remarkable spaces hidden inside. Step through the entrance, however, and you will discover a carefully composed sequence of rooms, levels, materials and views that reflects Loos's revolutionary approach to architecture.

A unique example of Loos's Raumplan

The villa is a remarkable example of Loos's Raumplan concept, in which rooms are arranged at different heights according to their function rather than on conventional floors. The result is a dynamic sequence of interconnected spaces, with changing perspectives and carefully designed transitions between individual rooms.

The simple exterior contrasts with the richly designed interiors, featuring marble, wood and other high-quality materials, as well as original furnishings and architectural details. The villa was conceived as a modern family home, with its architecture closely reflecting the lifestyle of the Müller family.

The villa stands on a sloping site in Střešovice, one of Prague's historic residential districts. Its elevated position offers views across the Vltava valley towards Troja and Prague Castle, including St Vitus Cathedral.

The Müller family lived in the villa until the 1950s. After the Second World War, the building underwent several changes, and in 1995 it became a protected cultural monument. The villa was subsequently restored with the aim of preserving its architecture, interiors and original atmosphere.

Today, it is administered by the Museum of Prague and is open to visitors through guided tours.
