The building alse popularly known as the “Ginger & Fred“, referring to Ginger Rogers and Fred Astair – the legendary dance duo because its couple gives the illusion of a perpetually dancing couple. The site is located at the comer of two streets (Rasinovo Nabrezi and Resslova street) adjacent to an unusually shaped public square along the Vltava River, the corner of , within walking distance of the National Theater and of other prominent cultural facilities. In response to the site, the design employs a twin tower scheme at the corner, creating a smooth transition from street to street, while at the same time creating a strong visual focal point.

This massing strategy also establishes a sculptural dialogue appropriate to the context of the immediate urban environment. The site for the Nationale-Nederlanden Building is one of only three in the historic district of central Prague, Czech Republic on which new construction is being permitted. Dancing House was designed by Croatian-born Czech architect Vlado Milunic in a co-operation with Canadian architect Frank Gehry. Built between 1994-1996.

The building is an example of a deconstructivist architecture, with an unusual shape – you can actually see a couple – woman and man dancing together, holding their hands, with a skirt that sways to the music. Words can’t describe it. You have got to see it.
