about 1935
1936

The architect built a functionalist villa for Dr. Ondreicka in Banovce nad Bebravou with typical asymmetric corner windows. Protruding from the main volume is an entrance alcove with terrazzo benches, which abutts a large hall - originally a waiting room of the physician. A free-standing staircase with rounded landing rises into the upper hall. The structure is a brilliantly balanced architecture and ranks among the best the architect has ever designed. Except the medical ambulance, it houses today an assembly hall of the Lutheran Church.
