After its completion, the house caused a shock in the city, which was still dominated by historicist taste. The Viennese called it the house without eyebrows because the window coverings that were common at the time were completely missing.

The Looshaus is considered a masterpiece of Viennese Modernism and a landmark of the city. It stands on Michaelerplatz, opposite the Michaelertrakt wing of the Hofburg Palace, and was completed in 1912.

The Looshaus was originally a commercial and residential building for the firm Goldman & Salatsch, which operated a high-end menswear store. Loos created a simple and elegant facade, devoid of ornamentation or decoration. He used high-quality materials such as marble, travertine, mahogany, brass, and glass to achieve a refined and modern effect.

The Looshaus is one of the central buildings of Viennese Modernism in Vienna. It marks the departure from historicism, but also from the floral decor of Secessionism. It is located at Michaelerplatz 3 opposite the Michaelertrakt of the Hofburg.
