Bellini Ibirapuera

History

From Lucioi, with architecture and common-area decoration by João Armentanoi, area design in partnership with MCAAi and landscaping by Gilberto Elkisi, Bellini was built on a 5,154 m² plot 470 metres from Parque Ibirapuerai. Its trademark is the unique façade, with a circular terrace that opens toward the park, like a prow reaching to embrace it.

• Concept: architecture oriented toward the park, with circular terraces and every bedroom opening onto a balcony.
• Trivia: every bedroom opens onto a balcony, with views of the greenery of Ibirapuerai.

Architecture and aesthetics

The building’s gesture is curved, and the curve has consequences for the floor plan. The circular terrace that João Armentanoi turned toward the park does not stop at the façade: it redraws the floor’s perimeter, which is why almost all of the standard floor’s 632 m² open onto the same face — including the bedrooms, each with its own balcony. The layout follows the same logic of breathing room: a single tower on a 5,154 m² plot, twenty-four storeys, one resident per floor, with no adjoining construction competing for the horizon. The common-area decoration is by João Armentanoi himself, with area design in partnership with MCAAi; the landscaping is by Gilberto Elkisi.

Ibirapuera: the address

Two names for the same address

The plot sits on the border between Ibirapuera and Vila Mariana, and both names are legitimate. The postcode registers Vila Mariana; the high-end market treats the address as Ibirapuera. This entry adopts the name in common use and keeps the other for those who search for it.

Here the address is measured in metres to the gate of Parque Ibirapuerai. What the market calls Ibirapuerai is neither a district nor a postcode — it is the ring of residential streets that touches the park, and Rua do Livramento sits within it, on a flat block with local traffic, an open-air market in the immediate vicinity and neighbourhood shops within walking distance. The gain is the park as a backyard: running, rowing, the museum and Sunday a walk away. The added bonus is the quick way out, via Avenida Vinte e Três de Maioi and Avenida Brigadeiro Luís Antônioi, which lead to Avenida Paulistai and downtown in minutes, with Estação Paraísoi closing off the metro connection. It is a short ring, almost entirely built up before the latest wave of development — and the land that still turns up here comes in small plots, which makes an isolated tower on five thousand square metres a case apart.
