Depicted triplex of residential houses, located in Rašínovo nábreží (Rašín Riverbank), belong among another masterpieces of Cubist architecture which you can find in Prague.
These residential houses (N° 42, 47 and 71) were built by architect Josef Chochol between 1912-1913. The front of the symmetricaly designed house triplex, where the middle building is taller than the two side houses, is dominated by polygonal oriels featuring Cubist shapes. From the urban point of view, the houses are very sensibly located - the architect made certain the structure would be in harmony with its surroundings and would not prevent the beautiful vista of the Vyšehrad fortress.
