“The radicality and modernity of the architecture of the Stonborough-Wittgenstein House (1926–1928) shows its particular qualities in direct comparison to the Viennese architectural context of the time, in the comparison to work by Behrens, Hoffmann, Frank, Loos and Prutscher. The history of the building also shows the growing emancipation of a woman and a client whose first apartment had been completely furnished by Josef Hoffmann and whose desire for modernity in the architecture also facilitated a more differentiated reading of the role of women.”
