Drapacz Chmur, Functionalist residential building in Katowice, Poland
The 62-meter tall structure features fourteen floors with distinctive balconies and a steel frame construction that defines its architectural character.
Completed in 1934, this residential building designed by Tadeusz Kozłowski and Stefan Bryła became Poland's second tallest structure until 1955.
The residential sections housed employees of the Silesian Revenue Office, later becoming home to notable artists and writers in post-war Poland.
The building contains three elevators, including one freight elevator, and includes a connector on the fourth floor linking residential and administrative sections.
The structure incorporated one of Poland's first garbage disposal chutes and featured an observation deck used for air defense before World War II.
