Hořanovského vila, Cultural monument villa in Hodkovičky, Czech Republic.

Hořanovského vila is a residential structure in Hodkovičky built in the Rondocubist style, known for its geometric patterns and curved architectural lines. The building displays balanced proportions and makes deliberate use of natural light to shape its interior spaces.

Pavel Janák designed the villa in 1921 for Antonín Hořovský, a men's and boys' clothing merchant on Spálená Street and director of the Žluté lázně baths. Painter František Kysela created its interior and exterior decoration. In 1940 builder Louda added a detached caretaker's house with Rondocubist elements on the plot; its heritage protection, with part of the land, was revoked in January 2005.

The building reflects how Czech architects of its time sought to create a distinct architectural language through geometric design and careful proportions. Walking around it, visitors can observe how the structure engages with its residential surroundings through deliberate architectural choices.

The villa stands on a sloping plot on Na Lysinách street in Hodkovičky, Prague 4, above the Vltava valley near the Žluté lázně recreation area. The street facade carries the year 1921 and the mosaic sits about 9 metres up on the gable, so it is best seen from the pavement opposite. The garden is divided by retaining walls, stairs and balustrades; the unprotected garden house with its greenhouse stands on the plot.

A mosaic titled "Pár v kroji na koních" (A couple in folk costume on horseback) sits on the gable about 9 metres above the ground, measuring 0.8 m high and 1.5 m wide. It was installed during construction in 1921, and the painter František Kysela designed both the interior and exterior decoration. The facade right beside the mosaic shows cracks and heavy loss of material.
