Constructed for Gustav Haas between 1928 and 1930, this functionalist villa was designed by the architect Ernst Wiesner. The building is characterized by its nautical design elements, including horizontal massing, a flat roof, and stepped terraces. The original layout featured distinct wings dedicated to family living, service areas, and garages, showcasing an organized modernist style.

While the exterior maintains its terrace-stepped appearance, the interior historically featured contrasts between functionalist spaces and traditional elements. Although originally built as a single-family home, the building is now divided into five residential apartments. As a protected cultural monument, the villa serves as a private residence and is not open to the public as a museum.
