Yacht Tennis Club, Yacht club and UNESCO World Heritage Site in Pampulha, Brazil
The Yacht Tennis Club features curved architectural elements and fluid lines designed by Oscar Niemeyer along the shore of Lake Pampulha in Belo Horizonte.
Mayor Juscelino Kubitschek commissioned Oscar Niemeyer to design this building in the early 1940s as part of the Pampulha Modern Ensemble development project.
The upper level contains the Portinari Room, displaying murals by artist Candido Portinari while Roberto Burle Marx designed the surrounding gardens.
Members access tennis courts, boat facilities, and social spaces through designated entrances, with the ground level serving as storage for water vessels.
The structure earned UNESCO World Heritage status in 2016, leading to requirements for removing later additions to preserve the original architectural composition.
