Kovařovic Villa, Cubist villa in Vyšehrad, Czech Republic
The Kovařovic Villa features geometric shapes, angular forms, and dynamic surfaces that create varying patterns of light and shadow across its exterior walls.
Architect Josef Chochol designed and constructed this residential building in 1913, during a period when Czech architecture explored new structural approaches and forms.
The structure represents a shift in Czech architectural development, demonstrating how residential design incorporated geometric elements from the Cubist movement in art.
Located at Libušina 3 in Prague 2, the villa stands near the Vyšehrad fortification and maintains protected status as a national cultural monument.
Each surface of the villa displays calculated angles and intersecting planes that generate different visual effects depending on the position of the sun.
