Cubist triplets
Architect: Josef Chochol
Year of completion: 1913
The largest cubist achievement by architect Chochola became the home of three prominent entrepreneurial families of Prague at that time, and due to its scale, it can resemble a magnificent palace. The cubist three-house complex is also nicknamed the Cubist Triplets, and its facade is adorned with sharp edges and plastic cubist elements that extend to the design of windows and doors. At the beginning of the 20th century, the owners reportedly wished for a more flamboyant façade and therefore, after several years, a relief depicting scenes from Czech legends and myths was added to the facade of the central part. Its authorship is attributed to sculptor Ladislav Křtina.
