Paineiras’ Visitors Center (Centro de Visitantes Paineiras) is located on the grounds of the old Hotel das Paineiras, a historic place in the way up to Corcovado, which is very popular to tourists that want to see Christ the Redeemer.
Designed by Kube Arquitetura
The idea behind the projects for Paineiras-Corcovado was not only to integrate the center with the visitors, but also to unite it to the nature around it and reveal the forest for those visiting Christ the Redeemer, offering infrastructure for the 10 thousand daily visitors that await their turn to see the statue.
In order to accomplish that, Kube Arquitetura was hired to design all commercial operations of the Center that opened right before the Rio 2016 Olympic Games last year.
