Description
The project will include a complex renovation of Villa K, an important functionalistic monument of Nitra. The architectural project of the villa has been designed by the prominent Slovak architect Oskar Singer. Mr. Singer has significantly contributed to the development of interwar architecture in Nitra, which was the traditional seat of the historic Nitra County ( after 1923 great-county). He was strongly influenced by the work of le Corbusier, whose elements he accented in many of his projects throughout his life’s work. The result of his creative work is a unique Vila K, part of which was originally built on columns, this is an exceptional technical solution in the conditions of Slovak functionalism. The position of Villa K is confirmed by numerous references in contemporary literature on modern Slovak architecture, as well as its inscription in the Register of Modern Architecture of Slovakia, carried out under the auspices of DOCOMOMO.
