The story of Olomouc villas owned by Otto Zweig and named after him, is very interesting . The area in which the future was built this house, in 1916, the couple bought Konstandtovi . Herman and Adele were planning to build a small area adjacent to the city park, a private residence, and what appealed to the young architect Paul Engelmann, who specialized in designing luxury villas . Engelmann gladly went to work and brought the project to the creation of his teacher Adolf Loos . The facade of the mansion Konstandtovi, on the idea of creators, was to be decorated with quotations from various works of literature . The inner space of the villa was open and not punctuated by partitions . Loos, therefore, he wanted to realize his idea to create Raumplana - continuous space . For some reason the house was not built . Most likely, spouses Konstandtovi simply did not have the funds because, in the end, they got rid of the site and in the city . Place for future home purchased gentlemen Zweig .
