Bordered to the north by Nové Mesto and to the south by Nusle, the Vysehrad neighborhood is mostly known and visited for its citadel that sits high above the river on a rocky outcropping. However, fans of 20th-century architecture can find some cubist gems between the area's highwaylike riverfront street and the homes that dot the hills on the other side. Born of zealous modernism, Prague's cubist architecture followed a great Czech tradition: fully embracing new ideas while adapting them to existing artistic and social contexts. Between 1912 and 1914, Josef Chochol (1880-1956) designed several of the city's dozen or so cubist projects. His apartment house Neklanova No. 30, on the corner of Neklanova and Premyslova, is a masterpiece in dingy concrete. The pyramidal, kaleidoscopic window mouldings and roof cornices are completely novel while making an expressive link to baroque forms; the faceted corner balcony column elegantly alludes to Gothic forerunners. On the same street, at Neklanova No. 2, is another apartment house attributed to Chochol; like the building at Neklanova No. 30, it uses pyramidal shapes and the suggestion of Gothic columns. Nearby, Chochol's villa, on the embankment at Libusina 3, has an undulating effect created by smoothly articulated forms. The wall and gate around the back of the house use triangular moldings and metal grating to create an effect of controlled energy. The three-family house, about 100 yards away from the villa at Rasínovo nábrezí 6-10, was completed slightly earlier, when Chochol's cubist style was still developing. Here, the design is touched with baroque and neoclassical influence, with a mansard roof and end gables.
