10 Most Creative Apartment Blocks)

Casa Pueblo is an apartment block and art museum situated on a outcropping of rock 5 minutes from Punta del Este, Uruguay. It represents the work of the Uruguayan painter Carlos Paez Vilaro. He traveled the world, experiencing different cultures and learning different techniques. He was fascinated by the island of Tahiti, which has a great influence on his work. The architecture of the museum, also created by Vilaro, is absolutely fabulous, built of adobe and rising out of the topography of the rocks in wierd formations and curves. The view from this site is breathtaking.
