Kovařovic Villa and Chochol's cubist houses

Kovařovicova vila

MonumentLocals' pick

Josef Chochol designed this three-storey villa for builder Bedřich Kovařovic in 1912-1913, and it is a peak of Czech cubism: the façade, the floor plan of the garden, the fence and the outside stairs are all cubist. It is the exterior that matters here; the house is private.
