Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
Brazilian architecture firm Königsberger Vannucchi Arquitetos Associados has completed the Bueno Brandão 257 residential skyscraper in São Paulo's Vila Nova Conceição neighborhood. The 22-story tower features a unique combination of porcelain and wood cladding, with wood being described as a 'rare application in Brazil.'
