Sumari:The present paper examines an architectural masterpiece: The Palicka House (1929-1932), which was designed by the Dutch architect Mart Stam for the Baba siedlung in Prague, and built by the owner of the house, the constructor Jirí Palicka. This house is a representative paradigm of the modern movement. Although it has not often been an object of study nor widely published, its architectural qualities generated the motive of the present essay. The architectural design virtues, such as functionality, spatiality, morphology, and the freedom and flexibility of its structure, are demonstrated together with the didactic notions which this building includes. It is interesting to observe the constructor’s fine interpretation, from design to construction, respecting many of the details designed by the architect and enhancing the essence of the main architectural idea of the project. Keywords: Palicka, Stam, Prague, modernity.
