Built between 1928 and 1930 for the building contractor František Müller, this building is a prime example of functionalist architecture. Designed by the architect Adolf Loos in collaboration with Karel Lhota, it is designated as a national monument of the Czech Republic.

The structure is renowned for its implementation of the Raumplan theory, an innovative spatial design where rooms are organized by height and purpose rather than traditional floors. This concept embodies Loos' theories on economy and functionality, featuring a distinct separation between public and private spaces and a specific color scheme throughout the interior.

After falling into disrepair during the socialist era, the property was purchased by the city of Prague and underwent meticulous restoration. It reopened in 2000 as a house museum and is currently part of the Iconic Houses network. The site is administered by the City of Prague Museum.
