In 1905, banker and art collector Adolf Stockleter commissioned Josef Hoffmann, one of the leading architects of the Vienna Secession movement, to design the house, who imposed neither aesthetic nor financial constraints on the project. Completed in 1911, the house and gardens, with their austere geometric forms, marked a turning point in Art Nouveau and foreshadowed the Art Deco and Modern architectural movements. One of the most successful and homogeneous buildings of the Vienna Secession, the Stocleter House featured works by Koloman Moser and Gustav Klimt, and embodied the desire to create a "total work of art" (Gesamtkunstwerk). A testimony to the renaissance of European architectural art, the house retains most of its original fixtures and furnishings, and maintains a high degree of integrity both externally and internally.
