Eternit building

The Eternit building stretches 55 meters in length with glazed surfaces, diagonal shed roofs, and colored panels adorning its exterior structure at Altonaer Straße.

Architect Paul G. R. Baumgarten designed this multifamily residential building for the International Building Exhibition in 1957, incorporating reinforced steel cross wall construction methods.

The building features seven maisonette apartments with studios on the top floor, reflecting post-war German residential architecture through its materials and spatial organization.

Residents access their apartments via a long walkway on the northern side, while the ground floor functions as a display area with glass brick infill.

Each 95-square-meter apartment extends over two floors and includes private rooftop terraces instead of traditional gardens, maximizing urban living space.
