Description

It's a very gray house. But taking a little time, you can see many beautiful elements. The balconies of this corner house are very prominent. This is rather rare in the Prague apartment houses of that time. The upper balcony was designed with a round shape, which gives the otherwise angular and austere house something joyful. The slightly raised avant-corps on either side are fitted with large windows. Relatively typical of a Prague apartment house are the terraces on the top floor.
