Dancing house - Tančící dům
The Dancing House is an unmissable and magnificent building that has become an integral part of Prague. The building got its name thanks to its towers, which resemble the figures of dancers Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire.
Since 1945, there has been a vacancy on the corner of Rašínova nábřeží and Jiráskova náměstí. The house that stood there was destroyed on February 14, 1945 (just like Emmaus) by bombs from American planes, when the Americans mistook Prague for Dresden. After the final removal of the debris in 1960, for 30 years, under the former regime, it was debated what would happen here.
The Dancing House was designed by Croatian architect Vlado Milunić together with Frank O. Gehry. The building has offices, a luxury cafe and a restaurant. The building got its name thanks to its towers, which resemble the figures of dancers Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire. The dancer is represented by a stone tower and his partner by a glass tower. At the top of the tower symbolizing the dancer is a dome with a structure of metal tubes covered with stainless mesh with mesh, covered in imaginary hair and representing the head of a medusa. The Dancing House danced to its opening in 1996, and that same year it received the prestigious award from the American magazine Time in the category of design of the year. The interiors of the investor's offices were partly entrusted to the architect Eva Jiřičná.
The building has a usable area of 2,965 m2 of office space on a total of 6 floors, the restaurant is located on the top floor and the conference and training center can be found on the ground floor of the building. In addition, at the top of the house you will find a gallery with a viewing terrace where you can admire Prague and view its panorama with a circular 360-degree view.
In 2021, the Dancing House was rated as the 9th most beautiful building in the world by Roofing Megastore's analytical software, which compared the parameters of fifty of the most famous architectural works with a numerical ratio known as the golden ratio.
