Above the Villa for two years as a famous architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. In 1928 he received an order from Fritz Tugendhat in the construction of residential villas. The customer has given the green light, and the architect used to create this mansion all their imagination.

They are still produced for ordinary consumers and are in huge demand.
