The spa guests at the end of the 1920s were probably astonished that even more functionalist guesthouses were being built in Luhačovice.

Description

A certain architectural highlight of this guesthouse are its corner windows at the northwest corner of the house. At this location facing the street, the building has three floors. Since the terrain slopes towards the south, the south side has four storeys. This is ideal for running a guesthouse to have more rooms facing south. In addition, the building is terraced on the last floor. All other floors are equipped with balconies, both at the south facade and on the east facade. With the corner windows, the roof terrace and also the balconies, the house opens up to nature and this is an important recreational factor for spa guests.

The name of the guesthouse was once part of the west facade above the entrance to the building. Today it is placed on the north facade.

Like all Bohuslav Fuchs guesthouses in the Bílá čtvrť district, this one was also equipped with a living area for the owners. Otherwise, guest rooms and common rooms were located in the house. The facade was covered with a white lime plaster, which gave the quarter its name.

History

The house, together with the neighbouring guesthouse Radun and the guesthouse Iva, followed the guesthouse Avion built in 1927. The devolopers of the guesthouse Viola were the couple Mr. Svododa and Mrs. Svobodová. The house had corner windows also on the northeast corner, but they unfortunately do not exist anymore.
