Sažetak
The period of the late 20s and 30s of the 20th century was marked in building heritage by intensive summer houses and villas building in both eastern and western suburban town areas. This review does not comprise all objects of summer houses architecture of the time but the most eminent examples of the styles dominating the period.
Many architects and designers have been engaged in that period, their projects varying from the eclectic ones repeating stylistic elements of heavier monumentality up to objects reflecting Secession going on up to the completely contemporary ones favouring new materials and functionality. It is absolutely of importance to point out summer houses designed by Alfred Albini and Kauzlarić and Gomboš, which had already been ranked among the best examples of summer houses architecture in Croatia Moderna, being also of very contemporary building quality, such as villa Pavlu of Marin Duplančić, villa „Herta“ done by Vladimir Šramel, and villa Lazarević of Josip Kodl.
These objects and others mentioned in this paper are incorporated in the landscape in the way of showing respect to its being adapted to the territory possibilities and values, while their interior space organisation respects the code of modern living comfort. Facades are plain, lacking decorations and by the look of window and door design in stone follow the traditional building ways. Family villa belonging to engineer Mihovil Novak stands out among all Hvar summer houses and represents the first example of a completely new contemporary approach to architecture in Hvar, being at the same time very bold and avant-garde solution within Croatian frameworks.
Generally speaking, we can confirm this period in Hvar heritage building brought to light objects of quality to Croatian architecture.
