The Tugendhat Villa is a masterpiece of the Modern Movement in architecture. It was created by the German architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.
The building in Brno was built in 1930 for Fritz Tugendhat, owner of a Brno textile factory.
Exquisite materials and modern technologies were used in the construction of this house. Its main structure is made of reinforced concrete with steel frames. The exterior of the house is painted white. The back wall of the living area is made of onyx panels from the Atlas Mountains.
The original furniture was also designed by Mies van der Rohe, such as the so-called Tugendhat chair.
The house had central heating and an air-conditioning system with a regulated fine-spray humidifying chamber.
