Mansudae Apartments, Residential complex in Pyongyang, North Korea.
Mansudae Apartments is a residential complex of 17 high-rise buildings, with two towers reaching 146 meters tall and containing 45 floors each. The tallest structures define the skyline of this development and anchor the surrounding layout.
Construction finished in April 2012 as a celebration marking Kim Il Sung's 100th birthday. The project was completed in an exceptionally short timeframe of 87 days.
The buildings blend modern forms with design principles common throughout the capital. This architectural language shapes how the complex fits into the broader cityscape.
The complex is located at the intersection of Changjon and Mansudae Streets in the city center. Access may be limited since this is a residential area primarily intended for government officials and higher-ranking residents.
The facades display patriotic messages rather than commercial advertising found in other cities. This design reflects a different approach to public space and messaging.
