The Úvoz housing estate was built in four stages between 1958 and 1962. The initial project was developed by A. Krejza and V. Unzeitig in cooperation with V. Kuba, in 1958 it was revised by M. Kramoliš, Z. Kopecká and M. Brabec. Of the intended high-rise housing estate, only two test high-rise buildings connected by a low-storey amenity building in the upper part of the estate were realised. The rest of the loose high-rise development was eventually replaced by a continuous housing development in the spirit of socialist realism and the emerging Brussels style, exemplified in particular by the seven-storey apartment buildings along Úvoz Street with their typical flat roofs.
