Tristan Tzara House

In 1822, Loos decided to move to Paris at the invitation of the Dadaist poet Tristan Tzara. After several unexecuted designs in France, he built a house for Tristan Tzara on the Avenue Junot, Montmartre. It was the only substantial commission he executed in Paris and regarded as a canonical example of what has been called Classical Modernism.

The house has a simple and uncluttered fa�ade according to the style developed by Loos, who advocated the absence of superfluous ornaments. The architect took advantage of the unevenness of the land by installing the garage on the ground floor at avenue Junot.
