Plzeň - Five buildings in Plzeň associated with the name of architect Adolf Loos are quite attractive to the public. They could become part of the tours that the city is preparing. Certain buildings on Klatovská and Bendova streets will definitely be opened to tourists, likely also the house at Husova 58. It may be possible to partially open the interiors of another house on Klatovská, while the unused building on the same street would only be accessible exceptionally. This was stated today by Eva Herinková, Deputy for Culture. "The interior at Klatovská 12 is finished, ready for tours. Two rooms, a dining room and a salon, have been preserved from the apartment designed by Loos for the family of doctor František Vogel,” she stated. Repairs began in 2003, were completed this year, and cost 4.8 million crowns. "Another interior in city ownership is also ready; Loos designed it for the family of Vilém Kraus in the house at Bendova 10. The first phase, which includes the most valuable part of the original large apartment that was divided into two after the war, is complete,” Herinková stated. The city is negotiating with the owner of the so-called house of Jan and Jana Brummel in Husova Street about making it accessible. The owner is a descendant of the original owners. The set of original free-standing furniture is unique. Since 2001, over six million crowns have been spent on repairs, with the city contributing 1.2 million. A limited regime will likely apply to Klatovská 110. A major reconstruction is being prepared for the building owned by the Plzeň Region for 2015. After that, it should be fully accessible, though next year it will likely only be open depending on the state of repairs. The gateway to Loos's interiors in Plzeň should be the so-called central Loos exhibition in the former Gallery of Ladislav Sutnar in the city center. Here, visitors will receive basic information and can reserve tours. The duration will range from 25 minutes to an hour. Loos's interiors are one of the key elements that contribute to the European dimension of Plzeň's project as the European Capital of Culture for 2015.
