Loos was deaf until he was 12 and was hearing impaired until the rest of his life.
In 1890-1893 Loos studied at the Technical University of Dresden, in Germany, between 1893-1896 he lived in the United States, he was mostly in the Philadelphia area, he visited New York City, Chicago, and St. Louis. He returned to Vienna in 1896 and dedicated himself to architecture. Loos began practicing in the late 1890's. Adolf Loos's planning of private residences influenced many European modernist architects after World War 1. |

Steiner House Description
|
Steiner House was designed by Adolf Loos and constructed in 1910 in a suburb of Vienna, Austria. In that time, the building regulations of the suburb stated that only one floor above street level was allowed, Loos's solution to this was to have an arched tin roof which contains two additional floors. This house became a highly influential example of modern architecture, it played a big role in Loos's reputation as a modern architect. This house belongs to his finest works.

Client Story |
In my word concept drawing I wrote my word with the letters coming together, I gave each letter a different color and combined the color with the next color. My drawings have different objects coming together to make a unique shape. To me the word "Interlock" means when objects of different shapes or sizes come together and make something bigger or unique.
