#Villa #Brno #1937
Description
The overall impression of the house greatly benefits from the main facade's orientation to the south towards the street, as this makes the main design of the villa easily recognizable for the observer. The terraces and balconies are attatched to the building in a semi-circular shape, supported by columns on one side. The house also features a winter garden. Its glazing is visible next to the balcony of the second floor.
The house is made up of three storeys with two lounge areas on the first and second floor. The roof terrace is accessible. Being intended for sunbathing, it is equipped with a shower in the area of the roof superstructure.
The house is masoned. This video gives an impresseion of the all-angular interior. This stands in a stark contrast to the balconies and terraces. During the last reconstruction, an attempt was made to preserve as much of the original interior as possible. The rooms on the second floor can also be seen in the video with the original parquet flooring, windows and doors. No walls were torn out or added. The place behind the glass bricks in the video used to be a small kitchen for the housekeeper in the 1930s and 1940s. Probes in the plaster were used to determine the original colour of the house, which was reapplied in 2010.
