Renovation of the Casa Europa in Rio de Janeiro, a historical building from the 50’.

 
 
 

ATRIA plays a crucial role in the renovation of Casa Europa, the French Consulate in Rio de Janeiro. This building, a symbol of French diplomacy, represents a vital part of the city's architectural legacy.

Casa Europa, owned by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has housed the French and German consulates, along with other international agencies, in downtown Rio de Janeiro since 2013. This gesture of diplomacy and partnership reflects the building's importance in international relations.

Originally constructed in the 1950s, the building has a rich history that mirrors the evolution of modern architecture in Brazil. Designed by renowned architects of the time, the building is a notable example of the modernist architectural style that characterizes many of Rio de Janeiro's architectural landmarks. Over the years, the building has undergone various modifications but has always maintained its essence and historical significance.

ATRIA is responsible for completing the renovation of the building's infrastructure and managing the entire renovation process. The work involves modernizing the building to ensure it continues to meet contemporary needs while preserving its historical integrity.

 
 
 

Our commitment is to maintain the historical integrity of this iconic structure while integrating modern functionality and adaptability. ATRIA's approach honors the rich blend of politics, culture, architecture, and preservation, ensuring that Casa Europa continues to serve as a prominent symbol of Franco-Brazilian relations.
