The Glas House: Vienna 1933. Banished Visions.

When in 1933 Hans Glas designed the villa for physicians Annie and Philipp Rezek on Wilbrandtgasse in Vienna, in the Austrian capital's eighteenth district, it was one of the city's most visionary buildings of its kind. The 'Glas House,' as the Rezek family called their home, is a quintessential example of modern architecture and the associated philosophy of living in 1930s Vienna. Viennese architect Hans Glas (1892-1969), a student of Adolf Loos, has today largely fallen into oblivion in Austria.
