Oscar-Niemeyer House, Modernist apartment building in Hansaviertel, Berlin, Germany.

The eight-story concrete residential structure rises on V-shaped pillars, featuring uniform windows, loggias, and colorful mosaic decorations across its 72-meter length.

Oscar Niemeyer created this residential building in 1957 as part of Interbau, a post-war social housing initiative that brought together 48 international architects.

The building reflects Brazilian architectural elements through its elevated design, outdoor terraces, and geometric patterns, marking a fusion of European and South American styles.

The structure contains 78 apartments spread across multiple floors, accessed through six staircases decorated with primary colors and connected by enclosed pathways to elevators.

A polka-dot elevator tower extends from the main building, while retractable orange awnings and mesh railings adorn individual apartment terraces.
