Ibler Building

The Ibler Building is a 10-story residential structure in Donji grad that incorporates wooden elements into its modernist design. The facade displays clean lines and horizontal proportions typical of mid-century architecture, housing multiple family units across its height.

Constructed between 1956 and 1958 under architect Drago Ibler's direction, this building responded to Zagreb's post-war housing shortage. It represented a shift toward modern construction methods during the city's recovery and urban development phase.

The building takes its name from architect Drago Ibler and represents the modern housing style that shaped post-war Zagreb. It stands in the city center and shows how residents of that era embraced a new way of living through innovative construction.

The building sits on Hrvatski narodni vladari street in a central location with convenient access to Zagreb's public transportation. Its position in the heart of the city makes it easy to reach nearby shops and services on foot.

Local residents call this building the 'wooden skyscraper' due to its distinctive use of wooden elements across 10 floors. This mix of materials was unconventional for Zagreb at the time of construction and made it visually distinctive.
