Architectural Precedent

Adolf Loos Moissi House 1923


The chosen precedent is Moissi House designed by Adolf Loos built in 1923. Adolf loos conveyed interesting usage of stairs and spaces which implements circulation and comfort for a residential building. The roof top courtyard and the main outer stairwell creates a welcome gesture to the surroundings which also provide the notion that it can be a safe haven or "pavilion" where you can stop and rest.
