Hutter’s block is of special significance to expert circles, as much as to the inhabitants of Maribor. The investor in the large housing block was Josip Hutter, a successful and well-known textile industrialist from Maribor, who had an exceptional sensibility for social issues, and who considered the quality of a person’s residence as particularly important. The authors of this outstanding block were architect Saša Dev, who supervised the project to its very execution, and architect Jaroslav Černigoj.
