Chilehaus, Office building in Hamburg-Altstadt, Germany
The Chilehaus rises ten stories high with a pointed eastern end that resembles a ship's bow, constructed with 4.8 million dark Oldenburg bricks.
Built between 1922 and 1924, the structure was commissioned by Henry Sloman, who generated wealth through saltpeter trade between Chile and Germany.
The building represents the architectural style of Brick Expressionism from the 1920s and received UNESCO World Heritage Site status in 2015.
The Chilehaus contains multiple businesses, including a real estate firm, retail stores, and restaurants located within its inner courtyards.
The foundation required 16-meter-deep reinforced concrete pilings and a sealed cellar due to its location near the Elbe River.
