The town of Hrušovany near Brno plans to renovate a unique villa designed by the pioneering modernist architect Adolf Loos. The municipality bought the dilapidated building five years ago, aiming to turn it into a cultural centre. It has now announced a public collection to fund the reconstruction.

Adolf Loos designed the villa in 1914 for Viktor Bauer, the renowned Brno industrialist and the director of the local sugar refinery.
