Casapueblo, Hotel and museum in Punta Ballena, Uruguay
The white Mediterranean-style building spans across 13 floors, featuring curved walls and intricate architectural details along the Atlantic Ocean coastline.
Carlos Páez Vilaró created this structure in 1960, transforming a small workshop into a large complex that became a reference point in Uruguayan architecture.
The museum section exhibits numerous paintings, sculptures, and ceramic works created by Carlos Páez Vilaró throughout his artistic career.
Located 13 kilometers from Punta del Este center, the establishment operates from 10:00 until sunset, offering guided tours through art collections and ocean views.
The structure contains no straight lines in its design, instead flowing with organic shapes that mirror the natural formations of the surrounding coastal landscape.
