Palác u Stýblů, Functionalist palace in New Town, Prague, Czech Republic.
Description
Palác u Stýblů is a residential palace in New Town with flat roofs, large glass windows, and straight lines that express the functionalist design of the interwar period. The facade has no decorative ornaments, instead the building makes its impact through strict geometric form.
History
The palace was designed in 1928 by three architects - Adolf Foehr, Ludvík Kysela, and Jan Jerolím - and reflects the architectural reorientation in Czechoslovakia. The project emerged during a period when Prague was adopting modern European design principles.
Culture
The building shows how Prague embraced modern design in the 1920s and moved away from older architectural styles. Visitors can see here an example of the belief that beauty comes from simplicity and clear forms.
Practical
The building is located in the center of Prague 1 and is accessible from the outside, although it has been out of service since 2019. Visitors can view the facade from the street and study the architectural details.
