The Semler Residence, a striking interwar apartment designed by Heinrich Kulka based on the concept of the pioneering modernist architect Adolf Loos, has become part of the Iconic Houses network. It is only the 12th building in Czechia to be added to the prestigious list of significant houses and artists’ homes.
The Semler residence, which belonged to the Jewish family of Oskar Semler, is the only apartment in Pilsen that features the landmark principle of Loos’s architecture known as Raumplan, the concept of seamlessly linking spaces of different heights.
The house, which is considered the highlight of Loos’s activity in Pilsen, opened to the public in September last year after a major reconstruction, which lasted for several years.
