Introduction
Chile House is a famous brick expressionist architecture located in the commercial district of Hamburg. It was built by architect Fritz Höger for a businessman who made a fortune from trading with Chile. The building features a stepped structure to mitigate the impact of high-rise buildings. The zigzag balconies resemble decks on a ship, and the unique curved walls form the shape of a bow. This building is highly remarkable at the intersection of Burchardstraße and Johanniswall.
