Будинок-літак, Constructivist residential building in Kyiv, Ukraine.
The Aircraft Building features an unusual architectural design that incorporates angular elements to create the silhouette of an airplane in its facade.
Joseph Karakis designed this residential complex during the 1930s as part of the Soviet Union's architectural movement focused on functional and bold structures.
The structure represents a significant example of early 20th-century Ukrainian architecture, reflecting the period's interest in industrial progress and technological advancement.
The building stands at coordinates 50.443611, 30.546667 in Kyiv, with regular public transportation connections available from the city center.
The residential complex incorporates geometric shapes and straight lines that, when viewed from specific angles, create the optical illusion of an aircraft.
