This VIW Building, by Brazilian architects Ivan Ventura and Yuri Vital, has some rather unusual balconies.
Sited on the coast of the Brazilian city of Ubatuba, the 27-unit building allows residents to take a dip without actually traveling to the beach. (Which seems a shame, as the beach is literally across the street, but that’s humanity for you.)
“The pools are not merely leisure elements,” writes the design team, “they are reflections of the fusion between nature and contemporary architecture.” They say the zigzag profile of the pools was inspired by “the majestic winding mountains that surround Ubatuba.”
