Edifício Prudência, Modernist apartment building in Higienópolis, Brazil
The residential complex features nine floors with spacious 390-square-meter apartments, incorporating both social areas and service sections in its layout.
Construction took place between 1944 and 1948 under architects Rino Levi, Roberto Cerqueira César, and Luiz Roberto Carvalho Franco for Prudência e Capitalização S.A.
