Perched on the southern slopes of Petřín Hill, Vila Silenta is a testament to Prague’s architectural heritage. Built in 1912, this striking family home was designed by František Kavalír, a student of Jan Kotěra, and a pioneering architect known for blending geometric Art Nouveau with modern functionalism.
Set in Hřebenky—a historic enclave once home to industrialists, architects, and artists—the villa shares its neighborhood with landmarks like Josef Kotas’s functionalist residence and the Gustav Šebor Villa by Jacques Groag, a collaborator of Adolf Loos.
Solo Praha has meticulously restored every detail, from the villa’s sgraffito facade and ornate window surrounds to its grand entrance staircase. Where original elements could not be preserved, they have been faithfully recreated.
