Adolf Loos's concept of the Raumplan (spatial plan) was applied in this villa for Libuše Treybalová

Description

. The villa is composed of easy, but very impressive details: The house is composed of two cubes. One along the street with floors and one in the back with only one floor. The balcony on the 1st floor facing the street emphasizes the architecture of the house. The balcony is designed in the same dimensions as the windows next to it, causing very balanced proportions. It is fascinating to see, that the balcony is pulled right through to the facade on the right side, what transforms the harmony into tension.

It is mentioned, that the interior of house was constructed according to the "Raumplan" of Adolf Loos. Just a few metres away is located Winternitzova vila from Adolf Loos, which was built in the years 1931 and 1932. On the ground floor of Treybal villa is just behind the entrance area situated a living hall, a winter garden opening to the southeast and a dining room, visible at the north-western facade (garden) shaped by bay window. The first floor is equipped with a balcony facing the street and a spacious terrace at the east corner. The building is covered with a flat roof. Despite modern interior design, especially in the basement, the building has largely retained its original character. A number of elements have been preserved, including entrance doors, the windows with wooden shutters. Very typical for the houses from that period are the wire fencing.
