Edíficio Itaoca, Copacabana

Copacabana has a lot of deco apartment buildings and this is one is quite special. Edíficio Itaoca dates from 1928 and was designed by architects Anton Floderer and Robert Prentice.

The decoration includes indigenous Brazilian motifs marking Itaoca as one of the best examples of Art Deco Carioca or Rio Art deco.

The main entrance is stunning, surrounded as it is with green tiles.

I love it.
