Not only the architect’s choice of colours and fabrics is worth mentioning, but also her gift for making each piece of furniture usable. For the execution of murals and ceramic stoves, she collaborated with renowned artists of the time, such as Maria Strauss-Likarz, a designer and collaborator of the Wiener Werkstätte.

Helene Roth was active as an architect, mainly for residential furnishings, conversions, adaptations, but also for the construction of apartment buildings and villas in Vienna.

In 1934, with the beginning of the Austrofascist era, Antisemitism also increased in Austria and many Jews were pushed to the fringes of society. Most of them had no choice but to go into exile.

This was also the case for Helene Roth: she emigrated to the British Mandate territory of Palestine in 1934. About 60% of all new immigrants who came to Palestine settled in Tel Aviv. Tel Aviv, the heart of the Jewish community in the country, became home to many immigrants fleeing Antisemitism in Europe. In addition to Helene Roth, two other graduates of the Technische Hochschule Wien emigrated to Palestine a short time later: Dora Gad and Anna Klapholz. Before their emigration, these architects were among the first women to attend a technical university in the German-speaking world. Now based and settled in Tel Aviv, they were hired by established architectural firms. Helene Roth joined Alfred Abraham’s office and later became his professional partner. Together they founded Abraham and Roth, Interior Decoration on Sheinkin Street in Tel Aviv. This collaboration lasted from 1934 to 1956.

Several lamp designs by her are known from the 1950s. She designed mainly desk and floor lamps, which were executed in various materials.

Helene Roth focussed on the interior design of homes and stores and became one of the most important interior designers of her time.
