Chile House

Designed by German architect Fritz Höger and built between 1922 and 1924, the Chili House, a ten-story building in Hamburg, is an exceptional example of a type of architecture known as Brick Expressionism. It is a building famous for its roof that looks like a ship, and has structures that meet at a very sharp angle at the top. The best view of the building is from the east, and because of the prominent vertical elements of the space, as well as the curved exterior walls, despite its large size the building exudes a certain sense of lightness. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2015.
