Complex SAF Sul Annex IV House of Representatives of Brazil
Due to the ever-increasing number of politicians serving in Brazil’s House of Representatives, an expansion to the original facilities, particular, the annex IV, designed by Oscar Niemeyer in the 1970’s, was planned in order to accommodate new offices, auditoriums, and food courts. Initially, these new spaces will serve as temporary replacements for the old facilities while they were being renovated to attend new safety standards. Later, they will help to provide the additional space which has become necessary over the years.
