Year of built
The building was designed by Roman Piotrowski as the headquarters of the Social Insurance Institution, completed in the years 1935-1936.
One of the most important symbols of modernist architecture in Gdynia. It is distinguished by the combination of bodies of different heights, and the dominant rounded part. It has a large surface of horizontal strips of windows, a smooth façade and a simple form, characteristic of style.
The façades on the ground floor are covered with slabs of black granite, contrasting with the light limestone slabs on the upper floors. After the war, the building was the seat of the Polish Ocean Lines. It is one of the first modernist buildings in Poland recognised as a monument and entered in the register in 1972.
