Casapueblo is an amazing complex in Punta Ballena, Uruguay, just outside of Puenta del Este. This unique structure by architect-painter-sculptor Carlos Páez Vilaró is truly unique. The structure now serves as a club-hotel including a museum and showroom of the artist’s talents. Casapueblo was originally built by the artist as a home and studio where he could paint and sculpt as well as entertain friends. The building is extremely unique; a photographers dream as the hotel provides a myriad of interesting close-ups as well as distance shots. There is something new and interesting around every corner and bend. Additionally there are many examples of the artists work in and on the walls as well as the display areas. (added 25 July 2006)
