Baťův dům obuvi, Functionalist department store in New Town, Czech Republic.

The Baťův dům obuvi building features large glass windows, concrete elements, and open spaces across multiple floors in Prague's commercial center.

Four architects, including Josef Gočár and František Lydie Gahura, collaborated on the design and construction of this retail palace in 1928.

The structure represents the evolution of Czech retail architecture and received recognition as a national cultural monument for its architectural significance.

Located at the intersection of Wenceslas Square and Jungmann Square, the building maintains its original function as a retail establishment.

The building exemplifies the expansion of the Baťa shoe company, which transformed from a local manufacturer into an international retail corporation.
