After Stanislav Sucharda won the competition for the monument to František Palacký in 1901, he decided to build a new house of his own with a necessarily spacious studio. He entrusted his friend Jan Kotěra with the project. Kotěra situated a cube of a two-story residential building in the south-eastern part of the square plot, to which a vertically oriented studio joined on the west side. The entire construction was completed at the end of 1906. The villa itself is characterized by a distinctive mansard roof, half-timbered gables, horizontal grooving of the plaster of the lower part of the facades, and economical folklore decor. The steep roof of the studio culminated in the figure of a knight performing the function of a lightning rod. The main entrance from the street was a concave brick niche decorated with figural relief, situated on the axis of the studio. From here, two roads ran diagonally: the left one bypassed the studio and headed for its rear main entrance, the shorter right one went directly to the stairs and the porch of the villa. The central space of the house is a two-story staircase hall and a sitting area, the ground floor common areas are a living room and a dining room with an adjoining music lounge. From the hall and its gallery, you enter the living rooms on the first floor. From the dining room, there is a direct entrance to the garden, originally also designed by Jan Kotěra.
