This is the Uruguayan Yacht Club at Puerto del Buceo in Montevideo and this stunning view is effectively the back of the building as seen from the car park.
The club was designed by Jorge Herrán with Luis Crespi and built between 1934 and 1939.
As you move around the building reveals itself in a more familiar Art Deco form with rounded wings either side of the central tower.
Giving us this view from the nearby jetties.
The club was inaugurated in 1939 by Uruguayan President Alfredo Baldormir Ferrari.

From a distance the building is brilliant and all set to sail.
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful Art Deco of 'building as ship'.
