Hochhaus zur Palme, Skyscraper in Enge, Zürich, Switzerland.

The Hochhaus zur Palme features a windmill-shaped floor plan with twelve stories rising above Bleicherweg street, supported by concrete pillars.

Built in 1964 by architects Max Ernst Haefeli, Werner Max Moser, and Rudolf Steiger, the building replaced a 19th-century villa with gardens.

The building earned Class B Swiss cultural property status, representing post-1945 architectural developments and urban transformation in Zürich.

The ground floor contains a gas station, fast food restaurant, and Credit Suisse branch, while the upper deck provides parking spaces.

The building's foyer displays Ilya Kabakov's 1996 installation 'The Fallen Chandelier,' creating a contrast between historical and modern elements.
