For many years there was an empty site next to our building, after a nice 19th century house had been pulled down. The new building is not actually so bad. On the outside, the facade is quite monotonous, all because neighboring houses are plain as well, their 19th century facades had been disposed of all decorations during the maintenance by the socialist state (as far as I can say, it is only our block that looks so deprived). Meanwhile on the inside, the courtyard is very rich with little buildings and shelter-like structures as the old houses usually are in their backyards. Also, the main house has courtyard gallery on every store which is traditional living in this part of the town. So the whole house together with its strange lunar rover only alternates traditional setting of the old houses in this part of the town. Congratulations!
Oh, and the lunar rover or whatever it resembles were meant to be art studios. The rent IS expensive. Good luck!
Nicer view of the old parts, and courtyard galleries on the old house.

I prefer the old part of your view....I´m a romantic at heart. ;)
yes ... i prefer the old view as well. it is quite quaint and lovely. thanks for showing us your contrasting views !!
Very interesting and different views. I like the contrast.
I actually like the old and the new. Both sides have their own story. Thanks. xoxo
Definitely different. but interesting too!
It's not easy in architecture to matain a good balance between old and new. In my view, only the French are reliably able to do it!
As other are saying: I like the the old better but this new building does't look bad either. Thank you for sharing!
Have a happy day,
Kasia
the new one is not to bad..love your wondeful city
it's difficult to see old houses and buildings torn down - once they're gone, they're gone forever. but i love your description of the 'lunar rover!'
I like old houses better, they have more personality, but that new building does look very "space age".
interesting architecture both new and old, but i do prefer the old i must say. it has so much character.
I find that "lunar rover" quite interesting... :)
I must visit Prague soon. I love the mix of old and new in your photos.
i kind of like this view. thanks for showing us this! besos-jane
I kind of like the lunar rover!
A very interesting view! I think lunar pod describes it perfectly!
This is really cool.
This was a refreshing break from all the other picturesque, more traditional corner views. There's a certain beauty to the modern -- a simplicity that I really appreciate.
very modern! nice shots!

I see what you mean about the lunar rover. It looks as though it is about to take off into space.
"Lunar Rover", what a great way to describe it. I must say that I am not really a fan of ultra-modern architecture.
Interesting building, it's always fascinating to see the old blended in with the new.
Love the playhouse in your last post. :)
