Punta del Este balances open coastline, modern design, and quiet landmarks shaped by place rather than spectacle. Along the shore, the white, clean-lined presence of Casa Blanca reflects the region’s relationship with light, space, and the Atlantic horizon.

Nearby, La Mano—the hand rising from the sand—stands as a simple but powerful marker of scale and impermanence, half-buried between land and sea. Together, these elements capture Punta del Este’s character: coastal, restrained, and defined by the conversation between nature, art, and open space rather than excess.
