Dancing House

Overview

A duet of forms along the Vltava—fluid massing meets civic poetry at an urban corner.

Design Moves

Paired towers: tension and embrace.
Stone mass vs. glass veil.
Corner presence: choreography at urban scale.

Structure & Facade

Steel frames supporting glass drape.
Masonry tower anchoring the corner presence.

Urban Reading

Corner as stage: pedestrian flows meet sculptural silhouette.
River views framed through glazing and balconies.
