Villa Müller

Villa Müller is a functionalist house in Střešovice in Prague with a cubic form and a white facade that contrasts with the refined interior composition. The building of reinforced concrete and brick shows small windows on the outside, while inside the different levels are connected through a particular spatial plan.

The industrialist František Müller commissioned Adolf Loos for the design in 1928, and completion followed in 1930 together with Karel Lhota. After the end of the communist era in 1989, the transformation of the house into a museum began, managed by the City of Prague Museum since 1995.

The name refers to the original commissioner and inhabitant, who lived here with his wife. Today visitors walk through furnished rooms and experience the original character of the interior fittings from the interwar period.

The house sits in the residential area of Ořechovka, which can be reached on foot as well. Guided visits show the original furnishings and allow insight into the different room levels, which are only accessible during a tour.

Between the late 1940s and 1989, the building was used for political purposes, including as storage space and the location of an ideological education institution. The transition brought a rededication as a cultural monument and enabled the restoration of the original fittings from the 1930s.
