Description
Built as an apartment building with three floors for flats and a huge café (for dancing) on the ground floor. The house is architecturally unique in Luhačovice. The main facade along the street faces southeast. The ribbon windows of the individual rooms are turned more towards the east, creating triangular balconies. The tenants could enjoy the sun shine on the balconies already from the morning. In addition, this architectural solution creates interesting geometric patterns on the house, solely by the sun and shadows.
The house was built of concrete, but more detailed information is still missing. The ground floor is covered with travertine tiles.
A similar house is located in Brno.
