Feniks house in Kraków, Modernist building at Rynek Główny Square, Poland
The Feniks house presents five-axis facades facing the market square and a twelve-axis facade along Saint John Street with large glazed surfaces.
Construction of the Feniks house in 1932 required demolishing three medieval buildings, including the 14th-century Tryblowska house and 13th-century Fridrichszmalcowska house.
The building earned the name 'House under the Chimneys' during the interwar period due to its characteristic attic structure topped with pinnacles.
The ground floor contains retail spaces, while the upper levels feature residential units equipped with modern amenities including air conditioning systems.
This structure became the first building in Kraków to display a neon sign and incorporated aluminum window frames, marking technical innovations in 1932.
