Imagine having 6,000 neighbors—sounds impossible, right? Not if you lived in Poland's iconic 'Falowiec' apartment building. Constructed in the 1970s, this colossal block is one of Europe's largest residential structures. Let’s dive into the fascinating details of this architectural marvel.
However, it wasn’t built for a film. Constructed in the 1970s, the 'Falowiec' apartment block is known as the second-largest residential building in Europe.
In such a massive building, finding where you live can be a big challenge, of course. Fortunately, a solution was found, and the block was divided into four different parts.
In total, there are 1,792 apartments! It’s estimated that about 6,000 people live in the building. The block is so vast that people use buses to travel from one end to the other. There are three different bus stops around the building.
The building, especially when viewed from above, resembles a wave.
There are a total of eight of these buildings in the city, representing an example of post-war modernism.
