THE HOUSE OF THE COMMERCIAL REPRESENTATION OF AUTO TATRA was designed and built in 1932. The ground floor with a mezzanine serves commercial purposes, while the first floor serves residential purposes.
The majority of the ground floor is occupied by a sales exhibition room, corresponding with the workshop courtyard and existing garages at the rear of the property. The exhibition room is vertically divided by a gallery for office purposes, with separate rooms for the chief's office and for storing small components. The entire first floor is an apartment for the owner of the representation, accessible independently of the ground floor layout via an external staircase leading to a separate entrance hallway on the mezzanine level to the interior staircase leading upstairs.
The structure of the building is based on a regular system of ten reinforced concrete pillars with slab ceilings to girders and cantilevers. The building is heated centrally with hot water from its own boiler room.
