A fomnily house of the villa type in the Brio quarter of Cemé Pole, at Ceinopoini Street No. 45, known as “villa Tugenahat”, even at the time of iis Greation, met with much interest and enthusiasm. tts unique character (being & model of contemporary builcing) combined with the materials usec and - ast but not least - the significant empathy of the architect with the builder, made ft a work of global importance that has become one of the milestones in the history of the 20th century architecture, The villa stands on & south-western slope, which Is the reason for @ certain duality of the front - the ground flor front leading to the street, the tist floor front to the garden - and horizontal appearance of the constuction, These circumstances influenced the inferior division and functional layout of individual parts of the building, There ore service rooms and {G photo laboratory on the fist storey (basement). The residential rooms with c winter garden are situated on the second storey (ground floor), The other part of this floor Contains the kitchen with G meal servery. food lift and larders that are next fo G separately accessible room reserved for staff, The third storey Gist floor), outlined as the entrance, includes the hall fooms of the children and parents, nanny’s room. bathrooms and toilet. The garage and caretakers flat are stiudted ino separate wing. The basic idea of the construction involves @ denial of the traditional concept, which regarded 2 dwelling 95 @ system of functional units separated from one another. Mies eliminated the excessive significance of the functional side, and its negative effect on the realization of space, by turning around, ‘the existing relationship behween the materialism of @ function and emotionaity of the architectonic space in favour of the other factor. Mies made use of @ means that was simple, but radical; he substiuied the space principle of addition with the principle of Givision. Space created this way lost the “static” character. is main quality, on the contrary, was its dynamic continuity arising from the uninterrupted “flow” and mounting effect on the perceiving person. The major residential area was divided by way of hints only - free standing onyx wall or semicircular wall made of the Makassar ebony, curtains or low furniture - into several different “sections” (a place for receiving visitors, music spot. study with library, larger Parlour ond dinette). Such a division of the main residential area alone showed how great importance the designer attached fo the organisation of space, The extent to which he was concerned with the ideals of space is illustrated by an equally radical approach tothe relationship of the “interior with the surroundings. While the entrance floor is closed towards the stieet bby almost a complete wall, he main residential area is open to the garden on both sides with @ continuous glass wall providing a sensory contact with the surrounding area, Due to the building motetials used, the “flow of space was thereby Uninterrupted by any firm or final border. Such @ solution underlined also the possibilty of loweringNeméné kullivované a tvarové dokonalé je i Miesovo nabytkovs wbaveni, kieré se dnes dechovalo jen vtorzu, (Nakteré jeho souddsti - Zidle .Bino", Kfesio sTugendhat, sklenény stil oj, - se stoly zaveznymni Sl Podnécujcimi protetypy ve wivoji modemino, nejen funkcionalistického nabytku) Snovou prastorovou koncepci dace souvisely i nékleré konstrukéni zmény.

(Some of the pleces ~ "ino" chais, “Tugendhat’ armchair, glass table, etc. ~ became the binding or stimulating prototypes in the evelopment of modem, not anly tunctionalistic furniture), The new conception of space was closcly interrelated to a change in the established idea of building methods, revealing itself in the structure. Most of the external and intemal full walls were replaced wih steel pillars, arranged on a rectangular type of layout. bearing the ceiling joists or, possibly, the roofing slabs. Their representation emphasised absolute supremacy of the space: pillars with cress profile were teduced almost to the limit of weight bearing capacity, when their fragilty was amplified bby being covered with chrome coated sheets with the dematerialsing capabilty of refiection. A great contribution to the uniqueness of the construction was due to various technical innovations that, even today, are not at all common in residential homes, such os the electrically powered windows, Gir conditioning or electronic house security system working on the principle of a photoelectric cellKALENDARIUM / CALENDAR OF EVENTS léto 1928 Pruni setkani Ludwiga Miese van der Rohe s Grete a fritzem Tugendhatovyml v Bering, 267i 1928 $etkéni manield Tugendhatowych s Miesem van der Rohe v Bmé - prohlidka pozemku (patticino plivedné k domy ne Sadoveé ul. 22, majitel Alfred Low-Beer) 31, 12, 1928 Mies piedkiada v berinském ateliétu Tugendhatovym zdkladini koncepei domu. 15. 3. 1929 Dorovaci smiouvou od Alfreda Low-Beera (otec Grete Tugenchatové) ziskén pozemek, no némé des vila stoji. 22. 4, 1929 Podiina Zadost o stavebni povoleni, 18, 5. 1929 Stavebni fad proved komisioneln fizen. erven 1929 Zahéjeny stavebni préce, realizaci poviena binénské stavebni fima Artur 0 Mofic Eislerove. 26. 9. 1929 Méstska raga Zemskéno hiavnino mésta 8a udéluje stavebni poveleni srpen 1930 Stavba vily dokonéena, 30. -31. 8. 1930 ‘Vypracovane 2améieni objekiu americkym ‘architektern Philipem Johnsonem. listopad 1930 Dokonéeno vybaveni domu ndbytxem. prosinec 1930 Rodina Tugendhati se stéhuje do vily 1938 ‘Odchod roginy Tugenchatti do emigrace. 4,19, 1939 ‘Objet konfiskovdin némeckou fojnou stan’ polic 12.1. 1942 ‘Vlastnické pravo pievedeno no Velkonémeckou iis duben 1945 Vila devastovdina, rozchvdceni éésti vnitinihe woaveni a mobilire, 12, 7. 1945 ‘Vimdrem ministerstve primysiu zavedena nérecini sprdva. 1.8, 1945 - 30.6 1950 ‘Objeld vyutiven jako skola rytmiky profesorky binénske konzervatore Karly Hladké 30. 10. 1950 Prevedeni objeltu do viasinictvi Krojského nérodniho \wyaru a jeho pfidaleni Statnimu istovu leSebnéno telocvike. 0d 60, let Snohy © nowrdeeni vily de pivedniho stavu @ vu [pro kuturni Geely 2 iniciativy architekia Frantiska: Kalivody. 1962-1969 Rehabilltaéni stiedisko Fokultni détské nemocnice.
