The architects Krauss and Tölk preferred a late historic neo-baroque style, into which they later also incorporated decorative elements from Art Nouveau . Since they only adopted secessionist design elements without sharing the fundamental intentions of modernity, they were criticized by Otto Wagner , who accused them of being proponents of a false modernity. Nevertheless, Krauss and Tölk were very popular with their clients, and they satisfied their needs for representation very well. In addition, the range of her work was very wide; In addition to residential buildings and villas, it also included commercial premises, cafes, theaters, factories, bridges and hospitals. As with most of the architects of that time, Krauss and Tölk's successful years also ended with the First World War, as the economy and orders subsequently fell sharply.

It is assumed that Krauss was more responsible for the formal side, whereas Tölk was responsible for the technical side of their buildings.
