The personality Karel Lhota is today almost exclusively associated with the work of the famous architect Adolf Loos thanks to their cooperation on iconic structures of inter-war Functionalism (Villa Müller in Prague–Střešovice, Villa Winternitz in Prague–Smíchov), then adaptations in Pilsen of luxury apartment interiors for the Hirsch, Beck and Brummel families. However, it was always Lhota’s teaching and publishing activity that prevailed over his admirable architecture practice.
