rchitects Bernardes Arquitetura faced some complex challenges when they set out to design a modern office block in the upmarket coastal neighbourhood of Ipanema in Rio de Janeiro.


Commissioned for the work by a private family firm, the team were tasked with creating a spacious contemporary, stylish and light-filled five-storey business hub called the Anibal Building.


The clients, who place a high value on


privacy, wanted an outstanding building in terms of design and quality – without being overly flamboyant – to replace an unspec- tacular concrete and ceramic residential block.


Anibal is ‘terraced’ between two taller buildings – a 1970s ‘traditional-style’ apart- ment block and an uninspiring 1980s residential block – in a largely residential area of fashionable, well-touristed Ipanema.
