Zaha Hadid<\/a> looks likely to be spending a good portion of her summer on Rio de Janeiro\u2019s famous Copacabana Beach this summer, but she is unlikely to be relaxing on the sand with a cocktail in hand. The British-Iraqi architect has teamed up with Arup<\/a> and Mello Afonso Engineering to commence work on her firm\u2019s first project in South America, and the high-end residential building is set to break ground this spring.<\/p>\n

The 12-story Casa Atl\u00e2ntica<\/a> is characterized by a distinctive, spine-like front fa\u00e7ade with sculpted fins incorporating generous covered balconies for each unit. Initially designed as a hotel but later changed to a luxury apartment building in order to comply with regional standards, the condominium\u2019s gleaming white terraces will offer residents uninterrupted views down Rio\u2019s famous coastline.<\/p>\n

\u201cCasa Atl\u00e2ntica\u2019s design continues the liberating formal composition and spatial flow inherent within Brazil\u2019s rich modernist tradition,\u201d explains Hadid. \u201c[It] engages with the unique tempo and vitality of Copacabana\u2019s urban beach culture as well as the fluidity of its renowned Burle Marx promenade.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hadid\u2019s first venture in Brazil expands her activity further still on this side of the Atlantic. The architect will see her luxury condominium at 520 West 28th Street<\/a> in Manhattan completed later this year, and her firm also revealed renderings and a slick fly-through for a large residential development entitled Esfera City Center<\/a> in Monterrey, Mexico.<\/p>\n
