Description
The windows on the street side towards the southeast were designed very clear and the first and second floors are dominated by those ribbon windows. The angular shape of the house is slightly broken by setting back the facade at the entrance area on the ground floor, creating a rounded shape. This design gives the door a small roof. Smaller windows were inserted on the remaining sides of the house. Towards the rear, the house becomes narrower with balconies on the southwest side. The roof protrudes beyond the facade, which most likely resulted in the association with a holiday resort. This cornice was originally painted blue, the window frames yellow.

History
The developer for the house was Kristina Ambrožová, who had already planned with her husband the guesthouse Avion by Bohuslav Fuchs. The guesthouse Sáva was constructed by the local master builder Josef Výška. According to what we read about it, the building was to be constructed as a "house for everyone". That means affordable to build and to live in. Initially, however, this building was not a residential house, but a guesthouse with nine rooms, a kitchen and a dining room. There was a laundry in the basement.
Today are two flats and a holiday flat in the house. After the opening, the name of the building "Sáva" was placed on the left side above the windows of the first floor, nowadays the lettering is placed centrally between the first and second floor.
Some historical pictures and the owner's letter regarding the completion of the house and its imminent opening, dated July 1929 can be seen on this website.
