Photoshop-ed? Is that what you thought? Well don’t think further because the building is real and has this shaky feel to it. Only the looks are mischievous otherwise it’s a concrete building with an unusual design. Constructed from 1994 to 1996, the Dancing House was built to represent a woman and a man dancing together and so was formerly named as Fred and Ginger [after Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers].The building is located at “the corner of the enbankment Rasinovo nabrezi and the  street Resslovaon a riverfront in Prague.

The architects of this building are Vlado Milunić and Frank Gehry. Although as an office building it is not open to public but one can visit the French restaurant La Perle de Prague located on the 7th floor which provides extraordinary views of the city.
