Bonjour Tristesse, Multifamily residential building in Schlesisches Tor, Kreuzberg, Germany.

The seven-story residential structure features a curved facade with a strict window pattern, complementing the existing neighborhood architecture along Schlesische Strasse.

Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza Vieira designed this social housing complex in 1980 as part of the International Building Exhibition Berlin 1987 initiative.

The residential units were initially planned to accommodate Turkish immigrant families, reflecting Berlin's commitment to providing housing for diverse communities.

The ground floor contains commercial spaces while the upper six levels house 46 residential units, accessed through a central circulation system.

The nickname originated from graffiti reading 'Bonjour Tristesse' painted on the upper facade in the 1980s, which the architect decided to preserve.

Location: Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg

Architects: Álvaro Siza Vieira
