On arrival
Pause at Drobného 28, keeping to public space around the Institute of Geonics property.
Look closer
Read the surviving villa as an 1860s object while imagining a much lighter wooden interwar experiment inserted later into its garden.
The modern city starts growing inside the nineteenth-century garden.
Next door, Karel Giskra's villa belongs to the same 1862 wave. Its architecture closely echoes Arnold's early villa work. But the site did not stop evolving. After the Beran family acquired it, they commissioned a wooden garden house from Ernst Wiesner in 1919–1920. Wiesner would become one of interwar Brno's major architects, so this modest recreational structure makes the property a bridge between two architectural eras. Even if the garden house is not fully visible from public space, the address lets you understand how new architecture started appearing inside old villa plots rather than replacing them wholesale.
