Na viničních horách 46, Functionalist villa in Dejvice, Prague, Czech Republic
Na viničních horách 46 is a residential building in the functionalist style, located in Dejvice, a Prague neighborhood filled with similar structures from this period. The house features straight lines, large windows, and practical room layouts that were typical of architecture from the 1920s and 1930s.
Architect Evžen Linhart designed this building during the early phase of functionalism, when Prague was becoming a center for modern architecture. The completion coincided with a period when Czechoslovakia was experimenting with new design principles for residential construction.
The villa has stayed in Evžen Linhart's family since it was built, which is why it survived without insensitive alterations; in 2018 it belonged to his granddaughter Jindra Prchalová-Linhartová. In 1958 a drugstore salesroom and warehouse were set up in the basement, and a chute was cut from a former vent in the shop-window parapet to lower goods.
The entrance is on Na Pernikářce street, at the corner of Zvonická and Na Viničních horách, with the address Na Viničních horách 774/46. The house stands on a slope, so the view from Na Viničních horách street is now open thanks to the neighbouring empty lot. The garden and its fencing belong to the protected area, so the villa is seen from the pavement rather than entered.
The building was registered as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic and holds official protection numbers in national archives. Despite its significance, it remains largely unknown to tourists, as many visitors focus on Prague's historic old town and overlook these modernist residential neighborhoods.
