Arbórea Itaim

History

From Benxi, built by BN Engenhariai and designed by Pablo Slemensoni, the Arbórea Itaim was conceived as a low-density urban retreat set against the greenery of Parque do Povoi, under the motto of the nature of beauty. The great asset, however, lies inside: the interiors carry the signature of Piero Lissonii.

• Concept: a low-density urban retreat, anchored in full integration with the greenery of Parque do Povoi.
• Trivia: it is Piero Lissonii‘s first project in South America. There are only 28 residences, with rooms delivered decorated according to the interior design project.

Architecture and aesthetics

Pablo Slemensoni‘s signature here lies not in ornament, but in geometry: the concept rotates the floor plans relative to the tower’s axis, so that each residence receives its own angle onto the city. The manoeuvre opens unobstructed views towards Parque do Povoi, the Marginal Pinheirosi and the heart of Itaimi, increases the entry of natural light and — in the firm’s argument — shields those views from future construction ahead, which in a densifying neighbourhood is a design decision, not a brochure promise. There are thirty storeys with a single apartment per floor, generous private terraces, and landscaping climbing from street level up the façades, where the vegetation alternates transparency and shade instead of being confined to planters. The common areas adopt a deconstructed rectangular format, spread across a generous ground floor and mezzanine. Interiors by Piero Lissonii — the Italian designer’s first project in South America — and landscaping by Orsinii.

Location and surroundings

Points of interest · distances in metres

Itaim Bibi: the address

At this stretch, Avenida Cidade Jardimi is already a different avenue: here it drops down towards the bridge over the river, and what lies opposite is not commerce, but greenery. Parque do Povoi begins just over a hundred metres away — a distance you cross the street for, not one you drive to — Parque Bruno Covasi and the Pinheiros riverbank come right after, and Estação Cidade Jardimi on Line 9 – Emerald is about three hundred and fifty metres away, on the other side of the river. The corner with Rua Jacurici, on an inner block, gives the address its residential character; the avenue gives the access. It is the face of Itaim Bibii that trades the company of offices for that of the park without leaving the neighbourhood.
