Dům čp. 405 House
Villa MUDr. Karl Guth in Chernošice, district Praha- west, is a monument to geometric modernity from 1913. This object became famous for its subtle form and detailed design of the interior, which was preserved for decades.
The summer residential house with a prism roof was designed by architect František Roith for Prague district physician Karl Guth. The construction was built in 1913 in the then Lower Waters. Roith designed five buildings in this location, most of which succumbed to inappropriate building modifications and lost their original architectural character. Gutho's villa is an exception and has been preserved in its original state.
The villa has a prismatic shape with a valb roof. The main facade is arranged with an emphasis on the centre, where the apsida is located with a glazed porch and a two-wing outdoor staircase. A small awning is located on the side facade above the entrance. The whole building is planted in a large garden where the original fruit trees were replaced over time by ornamental trees, which filled the ideal Italian villa.
The interior excels with sophisticated layout and original architectural details. The staircase hall has slightly bent railings and slightly convex walls, with three rectangular windows with differentiated glass panes. In the upstairs bedroom there is an oval Vitraj window with blue circular background, white tulips and green leaves, which is decorated with the front of the bed. All original windows and doors are preserved in the building as well as most floor coverings and built-in furniture.
The property belonged to Karl Guth until 1947, when it passed by inheritance proceedings to his progeny. Since 17 November 1987 the villa has been officially recognized as a cultural monument.
The building is located in the street of Dr. Jánský in close proximity to the railway line Praha- Beroun. The immediate neighbour of the villa is Zeman's summer castle, which is also a monument-protected project by architect Osvald Polívka.
Villa MUDr. Karl Guth presents a rare and very well preserved example of geometric modernity from the early 20th century. Its architectural value and authentic details make this building an important target for everyone interested in the history of architecture.
