Location

Uruguay , Rivera City

The Site :

The city of Rivera, 500km north of Montevideo, is located at the junction of the CuchillaNegra and the Cuchilla de Santa Ana.

It contributes with the Brazilian city of Santana do Livramento while sharing a land border: only a street and a square, Plaza Internacional, separate the two.
In this city, the social integration between two countries that share no territorial limits is the prevailing aspect, as people are able to cross freely from one city to the other.

The Site :

The project
The project of the new Rivera Hotel and Casino complex proposes a three-tiered intervention: 1 . To reactivate the old building of the casino

2 . To incorporate the Teatro Municipal (Municipal Theater) to the new complex

3 . To build a new four-star Hotel in the site located across Uruguay street. The building complex attempts to configure a new pole in the city of Rivera through an Entertainment Center, by repurposing the old casino and Municipal Theater.
