Casa das Canoas
Casa das Canoas is one of the best examples of modern Brazilian architecture. Away from the center of Rio de Janeiro, the house is located to the south, in Canoas (Barra de Tijuca), on top of a mountain, and is surrounded by tropical vegetation and native plants.
The architectural work includes a large stone in the swimming pool. This stone element is also used in the house to connect the two floors, as the interior stairs are attached to the stone. Clearly, all the constructive elements that make up the Casa das Canoas have a sculptural presence, featuring the influence of Le Corbusier, the father of modern architecture.
