Grand Copacabana
Mixed Use Bulding for Montebello Construtora
The Grand Copacabana project was developed from the search for a dialogue between architecture and the city, focusing on the integration between the city and the user. The result was a mixed-use building in which the commercial part does not clearly distinguish between private and public areas, making the building an extension of the sidewalk. The ground floor seeks to be an extension of Avenida Benjamim Constant. The apartments, on the other hand, have large balconies that act as large frames for the outside, providing a privileged view of the city.

Production Technology
For the project, we opted for techniques, technologies and materials common to the coastal region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The structural system of reinforced concrete was used, sealing masonry walls and external tiles. In terms of materiality, it was decided to use only two external coatings. The external frames are made of white tiles, while the body of the building, which is framed, is covered with black tiles, creating a great contrast, increasing the sense of depth of the balconies. The ground floor is characterized by the Portuguese stone pavement, reminiscent of Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro. This stone is also present in the lobby of the development and on the terrace, seeking to integrate all
Design Challenge
The challenge of this project was to seek an architecture that could combine the needs of the constructor with what the city needed. For this, we sought to explore as much as possible what the lsite had to offer. The ground floor seeks to be an extension of the sidewalk, creating ample spaces for shops and pedestrians, making the development pleasant for its users. The deep understanding of the master plan of the city of Torres was also fundamental to develop a building that worked and also respected the city
Project Duration
The project is located in the coastal city of Torres, in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul. The project is currently under construction
Operation Flow
The volumetry of the building is marked by white frames that slide along the facade, which at the same time serve to protect, but also to manifest the interior, giving the feeling of a core covered by an armor. The frames are arranged horizontally, enhancing this sense to reduce the sensation of height provided by the nineteen floors. The commercial base is covered with wooden slats and also set back from the volume of the building, thus providing a large sidewalk space for the city and ensuring better flow along the commercial areas
Research
The project started with a deep analysis of the site conditions such as solar orientation, interesting visuals and understanding of the character of the region. Then, we went after architectural references that would convey the same feeling we wanted to pass on: of a sober building, but comfortable and pleasant for users
Inspiration
Named after the old hotel that occupied the site, the Grand Copacabana is a building in which we sought to design an architecture that would be kind to the city, seeking not to obviously distinguish private areas from public areas. The groundfloor seeks to be an extension of Avenida Benjamim Constant, one of the busiest in the city, for this reason the stores open completely onto the street and are set back from the sidewalk, thus creating a large mall.
