Rufer House, Protected residential building in Hietzing, Vienna, Austria.
The Rufer House features a rectangular design of 10 meters by 10 meters with a flat roof and white exterior walls containing systematically arranged windows.
Architect Adolf Loos designed this residential building in 1922 for Josef and Marie Rufer, establishing the first example of the Raumplan architectural style.
The building contains replicas of Parthenon frieze segments along its upper exterior, combining classical elements with modern architectural principles.
The central column of the house incorporates plumbing systems and functions as a structural reference point connecting different floor levels.
The seemingly random placement of windows on the exterior facade corresponds precisely to interior lighting requirements for specific room functions.
