Le Parc Itaim

History

Developed by Diálogo Engenhariai, with architecture by MCAAi, concept by Dado Castelo Brancoi and wellness areas signed by MPR, Le Parc Itaim sits on the border of Itaimi with Vila Nova Conceiçãoi, next to Avenidas JKi, Faria Limai and Santo Amaroi, near JKi and Iguatemii shopping centres. On a plot of 1,500 sq m, the project traded quantity for privacy: twenty-eight apartments, one per floor, each family with its own lift and its own hall.

• Concept: high-end living at low density, with a theatrical arrival through a triple-height hall, in Itaimi.
• Curiosities: the social hall has triple-height ceilings.

Architecture and aesthetics

The arrival is the building’s argument. The social hall opens with a triple-height ceiling — a theatrical void that makes residents cross a volume of air before going up, and which in practice trades private area for a collective experience. From there upward, everything is organised around one apartment per floor: a private lift with biometric access opening onto its own social hall, two balconies per unit, and the terrace floor delivered flush with the living room floor, so that the boundary between inside and outside is purely visual. The same 303 sq m floor area is offered in three configurations — four en suites, three en suites with an enlarged living room, or three en suites with the living room integrated into the terrace — so that flexibility happens within the design, not through later renovation.

Itaim Bibi: the address

Two names for the same address

The plot sits on the border between Itaim Bibi and Vila Nova Conceição, and both names are legitimate. The postcode registers Vila Nova Conceição; the high-end market treats the address as Itaim Bibi. This entry adopts the name in common use and keeps the other for those searching by it.

Rua Doutor Eduardo de Souza Aranha is not a street of the corporate Itaimi: it runs down into Vila Nova Conceiçãoi, and number 310 is already on the calm side of the border. It is a schools’ block — there are two private schools less than two hundred metres from the gate and another two state schools at the same distance — which gives the pavement back a morning and afternoon rhythm that the tower-filled Itaim has lost. At the same time, Avenidas JKi, Faria Limai and Santo Amaroi cross just a few blocks away, and Parque Ibirapuerai is around a kilometre away. It is the border where the working neighbourhood meets the living one.
