Haus Scheu

The Haus Scheu features an asymmetrical tiered design with two sections: a main residential area and a separate attic apartment spanning 16 meters in length.

Architect Adolf Loos constructed this residence between 1912 and 1913 for lawyer Gustav Scheu and his wife Helen, marking an early example of flat roof construction.

The building incorporates the Raumplan concept, which organizes interior spaces based on function rather than following traditional floor-by-floor arrangements.

The entrance configuration includes a main door on the left side leading to primary living areas and a separate right-side entrance accessing the attic apartment.

The structure contains four interior levels with east-facing bedrooms accessing 4-meter-deep balconies and a naturally illuminated basement below ground level.
