The architecture of the ‘Legionnaires’ Houses’ is a typical example of publicly supported construction from the first years of independent Czechoslovakia. The complex consists of 9 apartment blocks and 9 family houses, compositionally based on classical principles – a pronounced plinth, articulated body, and a peaked roof. Their architectural form, vocabulary and colouristics are all close to the then-popular style of ‘Rondocubism’.
