The project
William Tozer Associates designed Monument House, a 224 m2, three-level remodelling completed in 2025. The design references Adolf Loos's Müller and Moller Houses and his remark that only the tomb and the monument belong to the realm of art.
Most functional elements of the interior are disguised as sculptural volumes and planes, hiding doors, storage and even whole rooms. They radiate from a central stair, itself an arrangement of floating timber treads over a glass floor panel.
