Fasano Itaim

History

From Eveni, in partnership with Grupo Fasanoi and with architecture by Aflalo Gasperinii, Fasano Itaim is the group’s first residential development in São Paulo. It is a mixed-use complex — residential tower, Fasanoi hotel and restaurants on the same plot —, and the idea behind it is to carry over into living the hospitality the family built over a century in restaurants and hotels: not service as the occasional courtesy, but as the structure of the address.

• Concept: Fasanoi hospitality applied to living, within a complex with a hotel and restaurants.
• Curiosities: the residences are entered from Rua Galeno de Revoredo, while the hotel is entered from Rua Pedroso Alvarenga.

Architecture and aesthetics

Two elements define the complex, and both speak of Fasano before they speak of the building. The first is the mast: a vertical element in corten-coloured aluminium, about 120 m tall, that runs the tower from bottom to top and marks it on the Itaimi skyline from a distance — the piece that makes the building recognisable without a sign. The second is the exposed-brick base, which revives the identity of the first Fasano hoteli, in Jardins, and resolves at ground level the stitching between residences, hotel and restaurants, each with its own door. The leisure areas sit on top of this raised base, at treetop height, and the standard apartment’s balcony is about 22 m long. Interiors by Studio MK27i, by Marcio Kogan — who also signed the Jardins hotel alongside Isay Weinfeldi —, and landscaping by Somai.

Itaim Bibi: the address

Rua Galeno de Revoredo is a short side street, and it is through it — not through Pedroso Alvarenga, which receives the hotel — that residents enter home. That separation sums up the address: the complex sits in the stretch of Itaim Bibii where restaurants, hotels and offices share the same block, with Faria Limai a few steps away and the neighbourhood’s dining corridor all around, but the residences’ door is on the quiet street. The Itaim street market runs on Tuesdays less than three hundred metres away, two schools are less than four hundred metres away and Parque do Povoi is about a kilometre away. Living here means living above the life of the neighbourhood, with the key to an entrance almost no one else uses.
