But in the midst of all this rather ornate secessionist bravura, we discovered this gorgeous little modernist house. It was built 1910-1911 by Jozsef and Laszlo Vago, two brothers who were natives of the city and who were inspired by the undecorated architecture of Vienna.
Darvas La Roche was a Jewish banker, who had migrated from Switzerland. The interiors, which we weren't able to see, are also supposed to be very striking.
The outside is studded with these little ceramic spheres (each one is different), which recall rivets.
