A 1947 Art Deco pair on the Flamengo waterfront by the same architect who built the Biarritz.
Landmark buildingThe Tabor e Loreto occupies the corner of Praia do Flamengo 244 and Rua Paissandu 7, two joined blocks facing the bay a few doors up from the better-known Biarritz. It was designed by Henri-Pierre Sajous, the French architect responsible for the Biarritz itself, and delivered in 1947 — late Art Deco built at a generous scale, with ornamental ironwork on the entrance gates that residents still maintain in its original green.
Apartments here are the large-floor-plate type that this stretch of the waterfront is known for: high ceilings, formal entry halls, and bay-facing front rooms. The building sits at the foot of Rua Paissandu's imperial-palm avenue, with Largo do Machado and its metro station a short walk inland.
Address: Praia do Flamengo 244 (corner Rua Paissandu 7), Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro
The building went up in 1946-47, in the decade when Praia do Flamengo was the most prestigious residential address in the Brazilian capital. Sajous, who had already delivered the Biarritz a few hundred meters south, repeated the formula of Parisian-scale apartments dressed in Deco detail for a clientele of senior officials and established families.
The Tabor e Loreto was heritage-listed in 2000, part of the wave of protections that locked in the architectural character of the Flamengo waterfront.
