Happy Rizzi House

Building Brunswick, Lower-Saxony, Germany

What to expect

The Happy Rizzi House is a unique and colorful building that stands out in the historic neighborhood of Brunswick, Germany. Designed by American pop artist James Rizzi and architect Konrad Kloster, the building features wild shapes and faces in bright colors, reminiscent of an 80's music video. The house is decorated with smiling faces, heart-shaped windows, stars, and birds, making it a fun and playful spot to visit. Although it was not initially well-received by the surrounding city, the Happy Rizzi House has come to be accepted as a unique and important part of the landscape, acting as a border between the business district and the old world European architecture. Today, it is used as an office building, but visitors can still admire its colorful facade and enjoy the deep sense of happiness it brings
