Obra do Berço, Modernist building in Lagoa, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The building features two distinct volumes: a cubic section with three floors and an L-shaped structure supported by cylindrical pillars.
Oscar Niemeyer designed this nursery building between 1935 and 1940, marking his first completed architectural project in his professional career.
The structure incorporates flexible sun shades and curved elements that became characteristic elements of Brazilian modernist architectural language.
Located near Lagoa, the building maintains its original function as a facility providing medical care and supplies for mothers and babies.
The facade includes adjustable concrete sun shields that Niemeyer implemented after his return from the United States, replacing the initial fixed version.
