Casa Lafer

History

Developed by Bolsa de Imóveisi, built by Paula Eduardoi and designed by Pablo Slemensoni, Casa Lafer occupies what sources call the most charming corner of Itaim Bibii, near Parque do Povoi, Ibirapuerai and the JKi, Iguatemii and Vila Olímpiai malls. It is an address in the residential lineage that Bolsa de Imóveisi has been signing across the city since 1935 — the same house as Chateau Margauxi and Chateau Lafitei, as San Marino and Clermont Ferrand — here in a contemporary key and with the participation of Jali.

• Concept: the top tier that unites architecture, design and technology on a prime corner of Itaimi.
• Trivia: the lobby’s roughly seven-metre ceiling height sets the scale of the project from the moment you arrive.

Architecture and aesthetics

A single tower, one apartment per floor, planted on a corner — and it is the corner that Pablo Slemensoni‘s project explores. The portico organises independent accesses: a vehicle airlock with separate entrance and exit, separate social and service pedestrian airlocks, a lobby with bulletproof glass; those arriving by car and those arriving on foot never share the same passage. The calling card is the lobby, with a ceiling height of roughly seven metres and an integrated reception room — a scale that rarely fits on a plot of one thousand six hundred square metres and which here sets the tone of the house right at the door. The façade is contemporary, and the ground floor brings together the portico, an outdoor lounge and the landscaping project before handing the visitor over to the lobby. Common areas and furniture by Patricia Anastassiadisi.

Itaim Bibi: the address

The corner of Rua Lopes Neto and Avenida Horácio Lafer is the point where residential Itaim Bibii borders the financial district without entering it. Horácio Lafer flows into Faria Limai within a few blocks and the Faria Lima Squarei helipad is less than a hundred metres away — but Lopes Neto remains a street for walking, and it is through it that you enter home. JK Iguatemii is less than four hundred metres away and Parque do Povoi the same distance in the opposite direction; between the two, neighbourhood shops that solve the day without a car — from the deli to the bakery, on the block. It is the address for those who want all of Itaim just outside the door and none of it inside the house.
