Planalto Building, Residential tower in República district, São Paulo, Brazil.
The Planalto Building is a residential tower in República featuring 25 stories with continuous balconies that create clean lines when viewed from the street. The structure comprises three connected blocks housing numerous apartments in varying sizes.
