Chilehaus (Chile House)

Chilehaus (Chile House) Review

This fantastical 10-story structure, which looks like a vast landlocked ship, is the standout of the Kontorhausviertel, a series of imaginative clinker-brick buildings designed in the New Objectivity style of 1920s civic architect Fritz Schumacher. The building was commissioned by businessman Henry Sloman, who traded in saltpeter from Chile, and now houses modern offices.
