Jakub Lando's Tenement House[1] is a historic apartment building at 3 Komuny Paryskiej Square in Łódź, Poland. It was built in 1936–1939[1] in the Modernist style with elements of Streamline Moderne, a style sometimes referred to in Poland at the time as the "ship style".[2] The building is listed in the Łódź Voivodeship heritage register under number A/129.[1]
Together with the neighbouring Mieczysław Neufeld's Villa and the Szymel and Helena Wileński Tenement House, it forms a distinctive group of luxury residential buildings representing interwar Modernist architecture in Łódź.[2]
Architecture
The six-storey building is positioned perpendicular to the street, with its gable-end front elevation facing the square.[2] The top storey is set back from the main facade and surrounded by a terrace.[2] The facade is covered with a two-colour decorative render imitating cladding made of rectangular stone slabs.[2]
The entrance facade is articulated by an avant-corps containing balconies with semicircular ends. Lesenes divide a narrow window extending through the full height of the building.[2]
The building contains eight identical four-room apartments.[2] The attic originally contained laundry and drying rooms, while the basement housed an underground garage.[2]
The building has been described as "one of the finest works of Łódź architecture of the late 1930s".[2]
