An Open and Harmonious Layout

Upon entering, a spacious living area welcomes you with floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows, offering spectacular views over the ocean.
The dining area, elegantly arranged for eight guests, extends naturally from the living room, creating a perfect environment for entertaining.
A modern media room provides a cozy space to enjoy films or simply unwind in comfort.

The apartment currently features three bedrooms, including a master suite with an en-suite bathroom and a breathtaking 180° view of Copacabana Bay.
However, the intelligent layout allows for an easy conversion into a four-bedroom residence, adding versatility to this exceptional property.

A Unique Architectural Potential

A ready-to-implement architectural project exists to transform the property into a triplex, connecting the apartment’s second floor directly to the building’s rooftop.
This would allow the creation of an exclusive private terrace with panoramic ocean views — turning this already remarkable duplex into an extraordinary sky residence with its own private outdoor space overlooking Rio de Janeiro and the Sugarloaf Mountain.
