Dancing House


:iconupdateplz: Aug 1, 2012

Dancing house otherwise know as the Ginger and Fred, completed in 1996, is in Prague on the right bank of the Vltava River on Jiráskovo Square.
Name comes from its two corner towers, inspired by the famous dancing pair of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.
Ground floor space originally designed as shops, are now empty and for rent.
The rest are offices, a luxury restaurant and cafe.

Whether it is a nice house and whether it fits into the architecture of ancient Prague, each must judge for himself.

Prague - Nové Město, Jiráskovo square, Czech Republic

A superbly appealing combination of color and black-and-white. This image also appears to capture the famous Ginger Rogers quote comparing her dancing with Astaire's: something to the effect that while Astaire was brilliant, she had to do most of the same things -- but backwards and in heels! :laughing:
