Information he was born in 1870 to an German family, later

on, he completed technical school in Liberec, and studied at Dresden technical university before moving to Vienna.

Loos stayed in America for three years, where he had an uncle living in Philadelphia. He visited the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago, and appreciated the work of Louis Sullivan. He visited St. Louis and did odd jobs in New York.
