House Unger, Znojmo

Historical house Unger in the wider centre of Znojmo

The builder Johann Unger made a significant impact on the architectural form of Znojmo. His nineteenth-century house has been inhabited by contemporary architects and given a modern look, which was awarded the best interior in 2019. The young architectural studio ORA won the jury's admiration in particular for its refined and sensitive renovation respecting the atmosphere of the house, which has "almost anti-stress effects". Barbora and Jan Horo, together with Jan Veisser, are young architects who, like Johann Unger, are shaping architecture in the South Moravian region; the context of the place where they work is important to them, and they also like to be surprised by architecture. "We found Johann Unger's house in a very well-preserved form. It hasn't changed much over the ages, most of the elements have been preserved - windows, doors, cement tiles, stucco, fittings and railings..." ORA Architects. The historic Unger House in the wider centre of Znojmo has retained much of its age-old beauty. Fortunately.
