There is an extraordinary assembly of Cubist-style buildings arranged around a small area under the Vysehrad rock. The Villa Kovarovic shares its small island site with two other notable buildings. On the right is the Modernist Villa Sequens by Otakar Novotny (1912-1913), on the left a neo-Classical villa by Emil Kralicek (1912-1913) with Cubist interior details.

Josef Chochol always tried to keep pace with the latest fashion which, at that time, was the Cubist style of architecture derived from the paintings of Picasso and Braque. He applied the style beyond the building to include the garden layout and the surrounding walls using shaped flower beds, levels, steps, planting, rendered brick walls and metalwork to echo the facades of the villa. The three-dimensional quality of the villa was reinforced by the design of the side facades of which the upper parts are visible from the street. The play of light and shadow on the pyramidal and crystal forms constantly changes the massing of the building and animates it.
