House with a studio

The 'House with a studio' is a sibling of the villa on the adjacent Red Hill. Both houses stand on just one building site whose northern edge is formed by Kamenná Street and the southern edge by the peak of Red Hill. In addition, Kamenná Street bends dramatically at the building at number 13, therefore the house facing the street creates an urbanistically attractive viewpoint. The architect - designer of the lower house and a brother of the developer of the upper house - was well aware of the strength of the genius loci. His variety of expression is rich and much more adaptable to the concrete conditions of the building site than one sees by a majority of Brno architects whose premise was the orthogonal Post-Functionalism.
