The House Steiger is situated in the Doldertal in Zürich with other houses of the modern, like the Giedion House by Alrfred Roth and Marcel Breuer (1936) and the Roth House (1959).

With its central hall it relates to la Rotonda by Palladio and an early study of Ruedi Steiger. It is a masterpiece of Swiss Architecture of the 20th century.

The publication traces the evolution, including the contribution of Flora Steiger Crawford (1899-1991), the first women who studied architecture at ETH Zürich
