Kotěrova vila, Cultural monument villa in Vinohrady, Czech Republic
Description
Kotěrova vila is a single-story residential house with exposed white brickwork, textured plaster surfaces, and a tower-like projection facing the street that curves into a bay window on the garden side. The building shows clean lines without unnecessary decoration and organizes space into several functional zones.
History
Czech architect Jan Kotera designed and built this residential house between 1908 and 1909 as an expression of rationalist modern architecture. The villa was created when new design principles were spreading in Prague and the rejection of ornament became a hallmark of modernity.
Culture
The interior shows early modern design ideas, including a glass-roofed salon and spaces made specifically for music and artistic work. These areas reflect how artists and music enthusiasts lived and worked in the early 20th century.
Practical
The house is near the Vinohradska vodarna tram stop and is easy to reach via U Vodarny Street. Those arriving on foot should start from Korunni Street and head toward Hus's Church.
Did you know?
The layout follows a clear concept: the ground floor holds bedrooms and the salon, while the upper floor contains Kotera's study and studio. This separation of private living spaces from work areas was typical for houses of that era.
