Arruda 168

History

Arruda 168 occupies a lot on Avenida Arruda Botelho facing Parque Villa-Lobosi, in the greenest stretch of Alto de Pinheiros. The project was launched by Tecnisai in 2017 and delivered in January 2019, with a programme deliberately small for the developer’s usual scale: twelve units in total, spread across six floor plans from 243 to 588 m², from the ground-floor garden duplex to the duplex and triplex penthouses at the top. The building’s architecture and the interior design of its common areas carry the same signature — Patricia Anastassiadisi handled both projects —, and the landscaping is by Roberto Riscalai, bringing together in one address a pairing of names that recurs at other high-end addresses in the west side of the city.

• Concept: twelve units on a whole plot facing the park — small scale as the project’s asset, not a limitation of its programme.
• Curiosities: the triplex penthouse floor plan reserves one of its suites for guests, spread across three levels; the building’s social areas are finished in Travertino marble, and the building has a full generator for its units.

Architecture and aesthetics

The building splits its programme into two units per floor, from the ground floor to the fourth storey, ending in duplex and triplex penthouses — an arrangement that secures generous floor areas without giving up the view over Villa-Lobos’s tree canopy. The interior design of the common areas follows the same authorial hand as Patricia Anastassiadisi, also responsible for the architectural project, and the landscaping by Roberto Riscalai reinforces the building’s integration with the park next door.

Alto de Pinheiros: the address

Alto de Pinheirosi is a garden neighbourhood on the west side, developed by Cia. City from the 1930s onward — low-rise, heavily tree-lined, with Parque Villa-Lobosi as the backyard for those who live there. Avenida Arruda Botelho runs facing that park, in the most residential stretch of the neighbourhood, near Esporte Clube Pinheirosi and a few minutes from Faria Limai.
