"My architecture is conceived not in plans but in spaces (cubes). I do not design floor plans, facades, sections. I design spaces." - Raumplan concept
"Searching the beauty only in the form, and making it not depending on the ornament, that is the human ambition" - Loos on his view against ornament in architecture; contrary to what was 'fashionable' in that period of time
"...this spatial interaction and spatial austerity that thus far I have been best able to realise in Dr. Muller's house" - the usage of the terms 'interaction' and 'austerity' in the same sentence to describe his concept of spatial interrelation in Villa Muller illustrates his purpose-built design.
"We should build in a style...that shuts out the outer world. The house should be discrete on the outside; its entire richness should be disclosed on the inside" - This firm belief of Loos' is evident in the lack of interaction between the landscape and the house itself.
