Bonjour Tristesse, officially known as Wohnhaus Schlesisches Tor, is a multifamily residential building in Kreuzberg, Berlin, designed by Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza Vieira and completed in 1984. It was Siza's first completed work outside Portugal. Built as social housing primarily for Turkish immigrants, the structure replaced several single-story retail shops that formerly occupied the site. The building's French name translates to "Hello Sadness."
