The construction of a grand Art Nouveau villa, based on an architectural design (author unknown; presumed architect—a collaborator of the sculptor) from the 1930s, on a designated construction site dating from 1924, was an extension of the already fully operational sculpture studios and the landscaped exhibition area of the gardens.
A 1:100-scale plaster model from the sculptor’s studio, which, according to eyewitnesses, survived until the 1960s; the photographs of the model show general views of this work.
The purpose of the new building next to the family apartment villa was to provide the missing space needed for the design and production of jewelry, vases, mailboxes, small decorative interior elements, and interior stucco work—a design center for the sculpture workshop.
During this period, the stucco workshop—as one of the core functions of the sculpture workshop—was among the very largest in Prague out of all 128 workshops operating there.
The layout features the residential section facing Čiklovy Street, while the design and artistic creative activities build on the existing studios in the courtyard area.
Based on the surviving documentation and architect Fišera’s supplementary design, the building is a five- (four-)story structure with a mansard roof, a height of 19 m, and a usable floor area of 460 m². The total area of the designated construction site, according to the 1924 plan, is 1,450 m².
The construction project was never carried out, whether due to the turbulent events of the war or the subsequent revolutionary postwar years of the last century.
