Description
The house is composed of two cubes. One is a three-storey part in the south designed with a terrace on the roof. In the north is the four-storey cube from which the roof terrace can be accessed. The concrete pergola on the roof terrace appears as an exciting construction. It serves as sun protection and symbolically as a transition zone between in- and outside. This component as well as the oriel on the second floor of the south facade often leads to the statement, to classify the house stylistically between functionalism and constructivism. A structurally beautiful gimmick is that the parapet of the roof terrace is pulled down slightly at the corner and a grid is placed instead of the wall.
The semi-circular balconies attached to the south facade contrast very effectively with the angular shape of the house. In contrast to the south and west facade the east side is simply designed.
Originally used as a private house with the caretaker's flat on the lower floor, it is now divided into apartments.

History
The house was built in 1933 Marianne Kabeláčová and Karel Neubauer. Since we have no information about the two developers, it is not clear if they lived together or commissioned the house together. Originally the company Kabeláč (construction company?) planned the construction. However, they entrusted the project to the two Prague architects Fürth and Mühlstein, who reduced the dimensions of the house. Construction works began in the spring 1933 and the inauguration took place on September 15, 1933. Based on the architects, it is quite possible that the two developers were Jews.
Today the house is divided into several apartments.
