Edificio do Jornal A Noite, Art Deco skyscraper at Praça Mauá, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The 22-floor concrete structure rises 102 meters above the Centro district with geometric shapes and ornamental elements on its facade.
Completed in 1929, this building was the first skyscraper in Latin America, designed by architects Joseph Gire and Elisário Bahiana.
The building housed the newspaper A Noite and Radio Nacional, which occupied four floors and became a center for Brazilian journalism.
The structure undergoes renovations to transform into residential spaces with 400 apartments, stores, restaurants, and a public observatory.
An internal spiral staircase extends from the first to the twenty-second floor, representing a protected architectural element.
