Retrofit with cutting-edge technology with innovations that allowed the corporate building to offer spaces for companies of all sizes. Listed as a historical heritage, the façade was completely restored, preserving the characteristics of Art Deco architecture.

BN Engenharia was awarded the 2008 Real Estate Master in the Projects category — Retrofit with the Standard Building, making it the best triple A in the region. The building built in 1935, located on the Flamengo landfill, overlooks the main postcards of the city of Rio de Janeiro, and was originally owned by Standard Oil.

The Standard Building is a classic example of Art Deco, with its façade that is very striking with its rounded ends and its base covered with noble material — marble and bronze, a terraced body and crowning, and stands out for its vertical volume with a clock at the top, with decentralized access.

BN took up the challenge of recovering it while preserving the original façade and modernizing the interior, especially in electrical and hydraulic installations, air conditioning, circulation, elevators and fire protection. The retrofit project was developed in the built-to-suit system, with adjustments made especially to host the headquarters of the Brazilian Capital Market Institute (IBMEC), and was executed in 10 months, also renovating the surrounding squares.
