Adolf Loos first designed the interior of the apartment at no.12 Klatovská St. in 1908 for the family of industrialist Otto Beck, whose daughter later became the architect’s wife. The second time he did so was for Josef Vogel, an important Jewish doctor in Plzeň. It is the renovation of Dr. Vogel’s apartment that one can see today.
The main attractions of Dr. Vogel’s apartment are a salon with a dining room with built-in furniture, wood-lined walls and travertine tiles. Between the wars, Klatovská St. was one of the most upmarket addresses in the city, with only the most prominent citizens calling it home. The flat’s fittings and layout fully reflect this, while the overall atmosphere is added to by precise replicas of the original furniture. If you would like to experience the atmosphere of elegant First Republic parties and also learn something about the significance of both Adolf Loos and the fates of the original owners, a visit to the apartment at Klatovská 12 is the perfect opportunity.
