Big family plates and a full leisure deck on the lagoon.
Landmark buildingPaço da Lagoa stands at Avenida Epitácio Pessoa 4768, on the lagoon-front stretch near Fonte da Saudade. It is one of the few buildings on the avenue built as a full-amenity condominium — pool and heated pool, gym, party and gourmet rooms, playground and gardens — the package most 1970s Lagoa buildings never had and cannot retrofit now.
Apartments run from about 160 m² up to a 543 m² plate, three and four bedrooms, with the front line looking across Rodrigo de Freitas toward Corcovado. The pitch is floor area: for the same budget you get close to double the space you would two kilometres away in Ipanema, in exchange for trading the beach for the lagoon.
Address: Av. Epitácio Pessoa 4768, Lagoa, Rio de Janeiro — 22471-003
Delivered in 1976, during the decade that completed the Epitácio Pessoa lagoon front. The full-amenity programme — unusual for the avenue at the time — set the building up for families willing to swap beach proximity for floor plan, a profile that has defined Lagoa ever since.
Five decades of continuous residential use, with the leisure deck and building systems renewed in cycles. It remains one of the recognised family-condominium names on the Fonte da Saudade stretch of the avenue.
