Building Over The Waves, Modernist residential building between Pitangueiras and Astúrias beaches, Guarujá, Brazil
The Building Over the Waves stands on rocky formations with a curved design that integrates with the coastal environment through blue ceramic tiles.
Following World War II, in October 1945, architects Oswaldo Corrêa Gonçalves and Jaime Campello Fonseca Rodrigues initiated the construction, completing it in 1951.
The structure won recognition at the Pan-American Architecture Congress in Lima and earned a place at the Milan Triennial exhibition.
The residential complex contains 44 one-bedroom units, 44 two and three-bedroom apartments, plus two penthouses, all built directly into the rock without foundations.
The ground floor features a curved mezzanine slab influenced by Oscar Niemeyer, creating a natural ventilation system throughout the building.
