The Villa Skywa, which Josef Hoffmann built for the industrialist Robert Primavesi and his partner Josefine Skywa in 1913/16, was conceived as a Gesamtkunstwerk. Architecture and interior design were of one piece and supported by the claim for the aestheticization of life. Even the contemporaries celebrated the villa as the highlight of Vienna‘s architecture before the First World War.
