The palace, built in 1923-1924 by order of the insurance company "Riunione Adriatica di Sicurt? ", Is an outstanding architectural structure. The building consists of three underground and eight ground floors and is made in the style of Rondocubism. Rondocubism is inherent in Czech architecture, moreover - it is believed that it is unique to Prague. This type of cubism combines elements of "classical" cubism and Slavic art. The palace was designed by architect Josef Zasche in collaboration with architect Pavel Janak (designed the facade).
On the roof of the palace are jagged towers, which evoke associations with ancient fortresses. The facade of the building is richly decorated with stucco and sculptures. The Adria sculptural group, located in the center of the facade facing the National Avenue, attracts attention. It symbolizes navigation. The composition is considered to be the world's largest sculptural group, made using the method of electroplating
. Its author is the sculptor Jan Stursa.
Decorative structure of the facade - girded pilasters with stylized flowers in deep fields, curved and triangular cornices over rectangular windows, disks, etc. In the middle of the lower part of the facade inserted a massive two-story aedicule at the entrance to the arcade, on the sides above - a half-figure of the Defender of K. Dvorak's work. Above the aedicule between the windows of the fourth floor are female figures of an unknown sculptor. In the round medallions on the ledge of the first floor and on the pillars of the entrance aedicule, we read the monogram "RAS".
