Family duplex for son and daughter
At the beginning of the 1930s, the number of architectural projects was limited due to the global economic crisis, and many design offices were in decline during this time. Jindřich Kumpošt therefore reduced his studio and moved it to his own house at Barvičova Street No. 15 in the Masaryk Quarter. At the opposite end of the plot on Preslova Street, a family duplex designed for his son and daughter was built at the same time according to his plans.
The one-story building, with a simple rectangular floor plan, reflects the principles of functionalist architecture, which sought a rational and thoughtful solution to interior spaces and their maximum connection with the exterior. The house consists of two identical, mirror-image residential units, each accessed by separate entrances located on the side facades. The living spaces and terraces framed by reinforced concrete frames are oriented south towards the street.
However, Kumpošt's children never lived in the house, as it was apparently sold immediately after completion due to the financial crisis.
