Dentre seus trabalhos, destaca-se o projecto para o Chicago Tribune, realizado em 1922, quando trabalhava com Louis Sullivan, e que consiste numa enorme coluna dórica assente sobre uma base cúbica.
Looshaus, em Viena - obra de Adolf Loos, 1909
Foi precursor do Raumplan, o desenvolvimento da planta em diferentes cotas. Através das variações de altura das divisões, bem como das proporções adotadas e das mudanças de materiais, é estabelecida uma hierarquia entre os diversos espaços; criam-se zonas dentro da casa, definindo também graus de intimidade de cada divisão."

Regras para Construir nas Montanhas” (Reglen für den, der in der Bergen baut
‘Do not build in a picturesque manner. Leave such effects to the walls, the mountains and the sun. A person who dresses to be picturesque is not picturesque but looks like an oaf. The farm labourer does not dress to be picturesque. But he is.Build as well as you can. No better. Do not outstretch yourself. And no worse. Do not deliberately express yourself on a more base level than the one with which you were brought up and educated. This also applies when you go into the mountains. Speak with the locals in your own language. The Viennese lawyer that speaks to the locals in a country bumpkin’s accent in beneath contempt.Pay attention to the forms in which the locals build. For they are the fruits of wisdom gleaned from the past. But look for the origin of the form. If technological advances made it possible to improve the form, then always use this improvement. The flail is being replaced by the threshing machine.Flatlands demand a vertical structural articulation; mountains, a horizontal one. The work of man must not attempt to compete with the hand of God. The Hapsburg watch tower disturbs the skyline of the Viennese Woods, but the Husarentempel harmonises will within it.Do not think about the roof, think about rain and snow. That’s how the locals think, and so they build the flattest roofs they can using the know-how they have. In the mountains the snow must not slide when it wants to but when the locals want it to. The roof should be safely accessible for shovelling away the snow. We also have to create the flattest roof possible using the know-how and experience at our disposal.Be true! Nature only tolerates truth. It copes well with iron truss bridges, but rejects Gothic arched bridges with turrets and defensive slits. Have no fear of being chastised as outdated. Changes in the old building techniques are only allowed when they mean an improvement on them, otherwise remain with the old. For even if it is hundreds of years old the truth has more connection with our innermost feelings than mendacity, which paces alongside us.’
