Igrek, Warsaw, Multifamily residential building in Downtown, Warsaw, Poland.
The Y-shaped Igrek residential building stands at 55 Plater Street, featuring 13 floors that house hundreds of residents in the center of Warsaw.
Built in 1964, Igrek became the first large residential structure of its time in Warsaw, marking a new era in urban residential development.
