THE TALE OF THE FOREST AND THE CITY
You might have heard, one of the most amazing qualities about Rio is that City and Nature clash into each other.
Housing facilities are located inside the range of Tijuca’s Forest, the biggest urban forest of the world. Working studios and exhibition space stand in a historical building, in the heart of the city of Rio, one of the most populous municipalities in the Americas.
Within 10 to 20 minutes you can ride between these places, or to the beach.
EV_LARGO means business, but also relaxation and delight. Ready for the time of your life?
