The main feature was the circulation and separation acheived by Loos’ idea of his Raumplan, being a spatial relationship of interconnected spaces and plannign with voids rather than plans. Every room was made for a particular function with a particular volume. Rooms have specific height due to different purpos and varied proportions of the spaces. Distinguishment of the exterior/interior, private/public, lavish/simple, day/night..etc. In order to distinguish the exterior from the interior, we used separately white mount board for the facades and balsa wood for the interior. The use of special columns and wall materials and in-built fixtures is to acheive the centrifugal circulation within the room. Special openings on walls enahnce spatial and interpersonal interaction.

There is alos a sequential order of a daily lifestyle pattern instead of a linear and mundane journey through the arrangement of the rooms and their purposes. The ground floor and first floor are more served as public spaces and daily use , while the second floor are for a much more private and nocturnal use.Villa Muller focuses more towards the interior since Loos emphasized more on the notion of privacy.
