name: penthouse overlooking Lagoa
description: Overlooking Lagoa and the Christ, my duplex penthouse was built as a retrofit on a classical 60's home. It has the feeling of a house with the convenience of a modern building. Centrally located, it is a 10 min drive or 20 min bike ride to Ipanema.<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />House 271 at Sacopã street was built in the 60's by the famous arquitect Tavela Ramos. In 2012 the house underwent renovation in a retrofit style, maintaining the original characteristics of the building and adding up modern conforts.<br />This is an appartment with the feeling of a house, centrally located in the very charming neighbourhood of Lagoa.<br /><br /><b>Guest access</b><br />The whole house will be acessible, except for my office in a small room.<br /><br /><b>Other things to note</b><br />Don't miss the sunset at the top floor varanda.
