The Marek's Villa became the first known and realized independent building by the architects Ella and Oskar Oehler. Its builder, Antonín Marek, as a well-to-do employee of the Central Social Insurance Company in Prague, could afford to buy a plot of land in the newly built-up Střešovice. The Oehlers designed a villa with a clearly legible composition of simple volumes. Its mass is embedded in the slope, which the architects used to significantly divide and arrange it into three terraces. Thanks to the large window areas, the communal areas are connected to the exterior, also through the conservatory. In the interior were used, according to modern standards, glass sliding doors, a wooden wall in the living room, built-in flower boxes in the conservatory and built-in kitchen cabinets with roller shutter doors.
