Fridrich Weinwurm, Ignác Vécsei
1923

This is a simple detached three-storey villa. A prominent wide terrace stands out from a compact volume of the building. Sensible interior layout is based on a rectangular system. Even though the villa is one of the first completed projects by F. Weinwurm and I. Vecsei, it already bears the characteristics of their later works: a clean-cut layout, a smooth facade free of any decoration, a cantilevered flat ledge and traditional windows arranged in pairs and triplets, divided by only a narrow mullion. Part of the building serves today as a museum of Janko Jesensky, a Slovak writer who once lived in the house.
