Villa Preiss, Functionalist villa in Smíchov, Czech Republic

Villa Preiss stands on U Mrázovky Street in the Malvazinky district, featuring a four-story structure with an expansive floor area of 270 square meters.

The villa, commissioned in 1931 by Jaroslav Preiss for his secretary Jarmila Demmerová, was designed by architect Eduard Hnilička during the interwar period.

Following World War II, the property housed several communist officials and later served as the South Korean embassy, reflecting Czech political transitions.

The villa maintains its original architectural elements while functioning as a residential building under the ownership of businessman Daniel Křetínský.

During the communist era, a guard booth was constructed in front of the villa specifically for the residence of Antonín Novotný.
