Actor Lumír Tuček is an architect with a guitar

He inherited the building on the beautiful grounds from his parents, who came here from Prague for the weekend. It was an old cottage back then and our hosts loved it for what it was. The only things he had just built were a wooden caddy and a gazebo. Near the doorstep and also in a beautiful place!

The fact that we visited a very professional person for our purposes is also evidenced by the fact that in 2012 the architect was the guide of the television series Vesnicopis – which has been successfully repeated to this day.

“Even though I am an Orthodox Praguer, I gladly took half of the cottage, which my parents and aunts and aunts have had since the 1970s. The brothers had no interest in it. It was just an inheritance that I enjoyed. Namely, except for cutting grass. Now, for example, I’m preparing to build a new barn, because the original one has collapsed, “smiles our host.

“Even though there is a drain right above us, the water is never cut off here. We’re still shining with kerosene here. However, when the aqueduct cuts off the flow that flows through the ground, we have to make a well because of the water,” said ensemble frontman Sudy Potu.

“We’ve been bandmates for a few years now, we have good rhythm from Toyen and guitar, and we provide vocals with my brother Ondra, although I sing most of the time. In our youth we enjoyed touring around dance parties, where local bands played Uriah Heep, Sabbaths songs, but also dancers, where brass bands were punctuated with new hits, which were many times scarier than bands. brass,” laughed Mr. architect.

In the last weeks prior to our visit to the lodge, he had not stayed as often as he had imagined due to the good weather. He worked with colleagues to prepare for the recent premiere at the Na Fidlovačce Theatre. Simon Caban takes over the cult film from the 1990s region.

“I was very happy with his direction, because he created a distinctive appearance, and at the same time he was able to find out many things from the original version of the screenplay that I myself slowly forgot,” said the co-writer of the screenplay.

“In addition, I write about three scenes and two songs for musical theater performances. And I play in that dark boiler room Křížek.”

Mainly play, play

Our host, along with the audience, also had fun at the Na stojáka show, but he enjoyed the peace of the lodge. “We are isolated here, but the village of Podmoklany, where we fell, is a quiet place in the middle of a nature reserve. What more could you expect!”

Lumír Tuček partly hated his studies. “I still enjoy architecture, but I really ended up with it in the 1990s, when I didn’t find investors I would have loved to work with. I didn’t really enjoy it. What’s more, when I had to join the Union of Architects – which never wanted again – they wanted some practice for me. That was the last straw for me. Luckily, I got an offer from Radio Mamma, then it changed to Radio Lemonade Joe. I spent the best four years of my life there.” (As clear moderator Lucian Krutomluff – 1996-2000, author’s note)

The lodge has not changed much over the centuries.

“If you think someone is going to build a house, they stay in that world for a long time. But you say something on the radio, people accept it or not – and it’s gone… It doesn’t need to be stored anywhere.

I like quality architecture, even if it includes selfishness and the ability to sell. Nothing wrong, but not my style. I drew some family barracks for my friends. They stand up and I am happy with the houses, and most importantly the owners are satisfied.

Architecture should fulfill investors’ ideas, but when it’s really desperate, it’s bad. We saw many strange barracks around us. I refer to some of the new Prague buildings as Japanese ashtrays. Interestingly interesting, but nothing more. What they are now building in Wenceslas Square, on the site of their original home, is an ashtray. For example, the built-in Brumlovka is a mess for me. Pictures of the present – testimony of time.”

Descendants of a master carpenter

Lumír Tuček and his wife have been living happily in a block of flats in Stodůlky Prague for almost forty years.

“It’s a box, but the trees have grown there, so the ground floor is a nice, well-maintained garden today. Thanks to the principle of functionalism, which I’ve always liked, even though I’ve seen the limits, there’s a lot of light everywhere.”

The cottage in the Vysočina region was his favorite place too because his family came there.

“We have three granddaughters and a granddaughter who is almost two years old, so I’m going to build a little gazebo for the kids here. We’ll be watching them from the big ones and they’re going to watch over us from the little ones. I don’t need any testing. even for this construction – just wood, planer, saw and drill.”

Nature is a piece of land here, with no fenced gardens (the only barrier around the raisins – because of the deer).

Its association with wooden buildings may be hereditary. “My grandfather was an accomplished carpenter, he had a factory in epy. He mainly did scrolls and reconstructions in Mala Strana. For example in the church of st. Tomas. I had professional books after him, and that was great! And maybe after him I has a relationship with trusses and beams in general – I like designing elaborate gables or hip roofs.
