Jun 21 Copan by Oscar Niemeyer - The Coolest building in Latin America

Architecture For Rent

Cities and Metropolises, Architect, Brasil

São Paulo

Oscar Niemeyer was best known for his modern architecture in Brasília (and his contributions to the United Nations headquarters in New York), often using concrete to sculpt beautiful buildings. You can see many of his aesthetic trademarks in São Paulo’s Copan Building, a towering residential complex with sinuous concrete facade; and you can really get up close to his genius by renting one of the building’s apartments, courtesy of Airbnb. This studio apartment is located on the 23rd floor, and the host will happily guide you to the bakeries and shops on the lower levels and show you how to take in the incredible views from the rooftop.

Jun 21 La Cité Radieuse by Le Corbusier

Architecture For Rent

France, Vacation Rentals, Cities and Metropolises, Architect

Charles-Édouard Jeanneret (better known as Le Corbusier) was a pioneer of modern architecture, with 17 projects inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. One UNESCO-recognized project is Unité d’habitation, a series of residential buildings that includes the influential La Cité Radieuse structure in Marseille. The apartment building is a paragon of Brutalist style (bulky, stark, made from concrete) and features a communal rooftop terrace, views of the Mediterranean, and 337 apartments with western-facing balconies. This two-bedroom duplex on Airbnb gives you a little taste of Le Corbusier’s original design—plus Wi-Fi.

Denmark, Sea and Lakes, Vacation Rentals, Hotels, Cities and Metropolises

KAJ is actually not a hotel. But nor is it a houseboat. KAJ is something in between. A floating pod of Danish hygge crafted entirely of reclaimed materials. It is tucked away in a quiet part of the beautiful harbor of central Copenhagen, Denmark. With a direct view of the historic custom house (Toldboden) and a stone’s throw from several of Copenhagen’s wonderful tourist attractions, KAJ Hotel combines the perfect location with a unique residential experience.

After a night’s sleep on the soothing waves, you can make your own homemade porridge and coffee/tea (all provided by us) while watching the Copenhagen skyline from the balcony, dangling your feet in the clear water – or even taking a morning dip.

At KAJ Hotel, you get the charm of staying on a houseboat combined with Scandinavian design and the comfort of staying in a hotel. It is the very essence of Danish hygge.
