IPA Studios Design: ready-to-move-in studios one block from Ipanema beach, with a rooftop and an infinity-edge pool
SIG Engenharia’s 190-studio building on Prudente de Morais received its certificate of occupancy in November 2025. Five units remain unsold — studios of 81 to 85 m² with a balcony — in a building with a panoramic gym, spa, coworking and a rooftop facing the sea and the Lagoa.
The building already exists: what you buy is what you see
IPA Studios Design is no longer a new launch. SIG Engenharia has completed construction and the certificate of occupancy was issued in November 2025. Of the 190 units, 185 are sold — what is for sale is the developer’s final inventory, brand-new units that have never been occupied.
Certificate of occupancy issued
Construction has been complete since November 2025. There is no delivery deadline to follow and no risk of delay.
No INCC
With the certificate of occupancy registered, the price list adjusts the payments by IPCA, no longer by the construction cost index.
View you can check
Floor, position and view can be seen in the building itself before you make an offer, not in a rendering.
Final inventory
There are 5 units available out of 190 — 3% of the building. The choice of floor and position is what remains.
A studio building designed by Cité Arquitetura
IPA Studios Design sits on a 1,030 m² plot on Rua Prudente de Morais, the street that runs parallel to Avenida Vieira Souto, between the beach and Visconde de Pirajá. There are 18 floors of studios — from the 2nd to the 19th floor, ten per floor —, a floor of garden units on the 1st floor, a common-use floor, a rooftop and a floor just for the gym, with three elevators.
The architecture, façade and common area interiors are by Cité Arquitetura, led by Celso Rayol and Fernando Costa. The detailed design is by Insite Arquitetos, the apartment interiors by Studio Ro+Ca, the landscaping by Embyá and the lighting by RBF. Part of the common areas uses the Ipanema tile collection, created by Oskar Metsavaht of Osklen for Portobello and inspired by the Portuguese stones of the beachfront promenade.
The larger studios, of 81 to 85 m², have a balcony with a granite counter and sink, 90×90 cm porcelain tile floors, a smart lock, infrastructure for voice control and air conditioning with the condensers outside the unit, in a technical area. Hot water comes from a central gas system on the roof; the kitchen is designed for an electric cooktop, with no gas point. The fact sheet also allows two or three neighbouring units to be joined.
A 12 m infinity-edge pool with wet deck, spa and bar with solarium at the top, and a gym on its own floor, with views of the sea and the Lagoa.
Coworking, work station, a main meeting room and three meeting rooms, plus focus, social, games and gourmet lounges.
Automated mini-market (Smart Food), self laundry run by a specialist company and a delivery room with a refrigerated area next to the lobby.
Surfboard storage with a rinse area, bicycle storage with sockets for e-bikes and two parking spaces with electric car charging.

Rua Prudente de Morais, 1.117 — Ipanema
Prudente de Morais is the first street parallel to the seafront: on one side, Avenida Vieira Souto and the beach, one block away; on the other, Visconde de Pirajá, with its shops, restaurants and Metro Line 1. SIG’s material places the building in Ipanema’s “quadrilátero do charme”, its most charming blocks. From the rooftop, the view takes in the sea, Morro Dois Irmãos, the Lagoa and Christ the Redeemer.
25% down payment, 74.5% in December and 0.5% in 2029
Because the property is complete, the November price list has only three payments and no INCC adjustment: after the certificate of occupancy, payments are adjusted by IPCA. The example below is unit 509, the 81.49 m² studio with the lowest price on the list.
- Down payment · 25% · on signingR$ 793.742
- Financing · 74.5% · December 2026R$ 2.365.352
- Post-financing payment · 0.5% · December 2029R$ 15.875
On signing you pay the R$ 793.742 (25%) down payment. The 74.5% — R$ 2.365.352 — is due in December 2026 and is the payment designed for bank financing. It stays within the 80% of the property value that banks finance; the minimum down payment is 20%. The last payment, of 0.5%, falls in December 2029.
Percentages, dates and amounts according to SIG Engenharia’s official November 2026 price list for unit 509; each unit has its own amounts in the same proportion. After the certificate of occupancy, payments are adjusted by IPCA. ITBI (property transfer tax) and registry office costs are paid by the buyer. The percentage actually financed depends on the bank’s credit analysis.
How much you pay until delivery, and how much goes to the bank
The building is complete, with the certificate of occupancy issued in November 2025, and the November price list has only three payments, in the same proportion for all 5 units: a 25% down payment on signing, 74.5% in December 2026 for financing and 0.5% in December 2029.

The building has parking on the ground floor and in the basement, with two spaces equipped for electric car charging, but the November price list does not attach a parking space to the units for sale. I confirm with SIG, unit by unit, whether a space is available.

Is SIG Engenharia the builder of IPA Studios Design?
Yes. Development and construction are by SIG Engenharia, which completed the building with the certificate of occupancy issued in November 2025. The architecture is by Cité Arquitetura, the detailed design by Insite Arquitetos and the apartment interiors by Studio Ro+Ca.
