Venezuela 43
Rio, Brazil
The Venezuela 43, built around 1930, has been extensively changed over the time, due to its various purposes. What was once the headquarters of the National Radio, was in disuse in 2010 when the project began.
Inserted into the Harbor Revitalization Project of Rio de Janeiro, this retrofit allowed the adequacy of current demands, without the distortion of the golden age of the existing building.
The project was completed in October 2012 and included the following changes: internally held an intervention in the structure of the core, with a new system of vertical transport, new set of bathrooms, service areas and technical areas, so adapting the building most modern technology solutions and guaranteed new users accessibility, safety and comfort of the new Triple A buildings.
Externally, the main facade of the old building in Art Deco style, is preserved. It is in a "beveled corner" of the triangular structure. Its windows were redone using the same material as the original. The entrance gate and portico were also recovered, but the main entrance became Venezuela Street, due to its integration with the city and new positioning of the core. All facades gained new windows, almost from the floor to the ceiling, seeking a clean environment and favored by day light.
Quality and sustainability are the cornerstones of development. From the architecture to the management of the construction project, everything was monitored to meet contemporary standards of environmental sustainability. The result of this effort is an infrastructure of high energy efficiency. In addition to reuse much of the original structure of the building, also an efficient lighting system and water reuse was created, a bike rack, a green roof and the work was done during pollution control and resources.
The Venezuela 43 was the first building to receive the LEED Core & Shell Gold in the Port Zone of Rio de Janeiro.
