Hoża 1, Historic tenement building in Śródmieście, Poland.
Hoża 1 is a tenement house at the corner of Hoża and Mokotowska streets by Three Crosses Square, built in 1913–1914 to designs by Henryk Stifelman and Stanisław Weiss. It has eight storeys, the top one hidden in a mansard roof, and was originally conceived together with the adjacent Hoża 1a as a single building.
The building was constructed in 1914 under the direction of architects Henryk Stifelman and Stanisław Weiss during a period of Warsaw's urban growth. It was built during an era when the city was rapidly expanding with new residential structures designed according to contemporary architectural principles.
The building is known as Kamienica Sukertów, or Bronisław Sukiert's tenement, after its owner. It was designed in the early modernism style by Henryk Sifelman and Stanisław Weiss and built in 1913–1914 together with the neighbouring house at Hoża 1a; the two were treated as one building until they were divided in 1919.
The building is located at a central point in Warsaw's downtown area and is easily accessible by tram or on foot. Visitors should note that this is an occupied residential space, so exterior viewing of the architectural details is the practical option.
The building was originally treated as a single structure together with the neighbouring house at Hoża 1a, also designed by Sifelman and Weiss; the two were only divided into separate buildings in 1919. The eighth storey is hidden inside the mansard roof, so the street front reads as seven levels.
