Description
Like all houses in the Baba Colony, this house was adapted to the terrain, which is slightly increasing. The street facade to the north is at the highest point. The living room areas face south and provide a good view over the houses on Nad Paťankou Street below.
The construction is made of a reinforced concrete skeleton filled with Petráš blocks (30 cm thick). The ceilings are made of concrete made by so called Simplex blocks. The window frames were made of metal. The architect used a very special kind of sliding windows, that can be opened up. The floors were covered with rubber. The floor plan of the ground floor clearly divides the basic functions: the living space is oriented to the garden and is organized into three functions - study, living room and dining area, connected by a glass wall with a terrace and a staircase to the garden. The bedroom floor is equipped with richly dimensioned wardrobe facilities and a corner winter garden to the southwest. The roof is furnished as a sun terrace.Originally there was an elevator for eating and already a telephone in the house.
