The Casa do Choro Institute seeks to endow a city of a place where a preservation, teaching, practice and production of the brazilian kind of music 0 âchoroâ will be adequately sheltered. ![]() © MCA Estudio The building that houses the institute integrates an architectural set of great cultural interest for the city of Rio de Janeiro and is implanted in a typical glebe of the center of the city, with dimensions of 10,00 m of front by 21,00 m of depth. A two storey floor planted in the period of predominance of Eclecticism and stylistic freedoms with a facade with clear Moorish inspiration, which earned him a nickname of "Mourisquinho". ![]() © MCA Estudio The implementation of the architectural program necessary for the full functioning of Casa do Choro's activities required a withdrawal of the remaining internal elements and an introduction of a metal structure independent of a new internal spatial organization.

All interconnected by a single prism consisting of a metalic stair and elevator. ![]() Section The contrast between the "old building" and the new is maintained on walls with apparent massive brick and a new metallic structure highlighted in the guava color. The other materials facilitate the maintenance of intense day-to-day movement with a predominance of molded concrete flooring, demolition wood and laminate type coatings. ![]() © MCA Estudio
