Edificio Oberpaur, Modern commercial building in downtown Santiago, Chile.
The Oberpaur Building features curved facades at its corner intersection, with continuous horizontal windows and clean lines across its concrete structure.
Architects Sergio Larraín García-Moreno and Jorge Arteaga completed this structure in 1929, marking Chile's first modern architectural construction.
The building's design draws direct inspiration from the 1928 Schocken department store in Stuttgart, incorporating European modernist principles into Chilean architecture.
The structure contains office spaces on upper floors and retail establishments at street level, with the corner space currently occupied by Salcobrand pharmacy.
The building introduced Chile's first escalator, transforming the retail experience and establishing new standards for commercial architecture in Santiago.
