The house knowingly presents itself as a metropolitan building with fixed street line. Facades with open parterre make these buildings a natural part of the street. Together with the alleyway they create a pleasant city environment, in which wide pavements are a necessity.
There are only several houses of this type in this part of the Holešovice district in Prague, dating back to the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. They stand out like ruins after bombardment. Insensitive interventions from the era before 1989, namely transport infrastructure projects, have nearly destroyed the urban character of the area.
