With Brazil at the center of such current worldwide attention, renowned architecture firms have been flocking to the country for work; partly to be associated with the upcoming 2014 World Cup and/or 2016 Summer Olympics, but also because Brazil’s current economy allows for booming architectural possibilities. The new Leblon Offices for VINCI Partners in Rio de Janeiro will be a historic first step for Richard Meier & Partners as their first architectural undertaking in South America, and it certainly lives up to the hype.
The ten story building will house 6,500 m² of leasable space in an open office floor plan. The ground floor will consist of a substantial lobby and retail plaza, while an additional three levels of leasable space and private parking will be located underground.
