Guinle Building, Art Nouveau building in downtown São Paulo, Brazil.

The building reaches 36 meters in height with its eight floors, featuring a facade decorated with coffee branch motifs and ornamental details.

Built between 1913 and 1916, the Guinle Building represented the first reinforced concrete vertical structure in São Paulo during a period of three-story buildings.

The architectural design incorporates coffee branch patterns on the facade, representing the economic strength of coffee production in early 20th century Brazil.

Located at 49 Rua Direita, the building stands near Sé Metro station, accessible through both the Red Line 1 and Blue Line 2.

The construction required special authorization from the city hall, as engineers needed to study regulations from New York and Buenos Aires for approval.
