Itacuruça

History

Developed by BBZ with SKRi, the Itacuruça is a boutique classic from the early 1990s, anchored a block from Oscar Freirei and next to the Clube Paulistanoi, a few steps from CJ Shops Jardinsi. There are only nine high-end duplex apartments, today largely refurbished: a rare run, kept on one of the most distinguished addresses in Jardins.

• Concept: the boutique classic of duplexes, on a most distinguished Jardins address.
• Curiosities: the great trump card is the position, a block from Oscar Freirei and right next to Paulistanoi.

Architecture and aesthetics

A single tower on a narrow plot, with a 23-metre frontage — a proportion that, in the early 1990s, forced a choice between many small units and very few large ones. Itacuruça chose the second path: duplex apartments, with the social and private areas on separate floors within the same unit, a solution that gives a street tower back the vertical organisation of a house. Time did the rest of the work — most units have already undergone a full refurbishment, so the shell dates from the early 1990s while the interiors are, in practice, contemporary. The architectural design’s authorship is not publicly documented and, for that reason, is not attributed here.

Cerqueira César: the address

This stretch of Rua Haddock Loboi sits at the top of Cerqueira Césari, where the cross street has already left behind the designer retail of the crossing with Oscar Freirei and runs into the axis of Avenida Doutor Arnaldoi. It is the corner of the neighbourhood where the medical vocation is concentrated — Hospital das Clínicasi, Incori and the cluster of clinics that formed around them —, and that is the useful reading of the address: the same walk reaches the country’s best medicine and the street retail of Jardinsi, things that almost never fit within the same radius. Paulistanoi is in the immediate vicinity and settles the block’s social account; Estação Oscar Freirei, on Line 4 – Yellow, resolves the rest of the city.
