Stratos Itaim

History

The Stratos Itaim is a Gafisai development on Rua Bandeira Paulista, on the upper stretch of the street that cuts through Itaim towards Vila Olímpiai. It is a project of inverted density: instead of multiplying units on a thousand-square-metre plot — which the law and the location would allow — the developer chose one family per floor and concentrated the effort on what fits inside each flat and on what is left over in the common area. The architecture is by Candusso Arquitetosi, the landscaping by Mera Arquiteturai and the common-area interiors by João Armentanoi. The building was completed at the end of 2022 and was 100% sold.

• Concept: one flat per floor on a plot of 1,031 m² — the entire floor plate for a single family, two blocks from Faria Lima.
• Trivia: the pool has a 25-metre lane. In a tower of twenty-two families, that means a training lane per unit — a ratio not always found in a four-hundred-flat leisure-club condominium. The building was also delivered with solar panels installed, a generator serving the units and an electric-car charging point, three items that in 2022 were still the exception in high-end São Paulo housing.

Architecture and aesthetics

Single tower, one flat per floor, two lifts — one social and one service — with biometric access. The entrance lobby has a sculpture, and the layout design starts from a simple decision: the living room integrated with the terrace, with large glazed openings in the living room, so that the flat has one large open front instead of several scattered windows. The finish delivered includes acoustic subflooring in the bedrooms and living room, hot and cold water in the kitchen and bathrooms and air-conditioning infrastructure in the living room, on the terrace and in every bedroom. The triplex penthouse, at the top, has its own leisure facilities and 512 m². The landscaping by Mera Arquiteturai and the interior design by João Armentanoi treat the common areas as a continuation of the flat, not as separate equipment.

Itaim Bibi: the address

Itaim Bibii is the neighbourhood that São Paulo uses for work and chose for living — both at once, which is rare and is exactly what sustains the price. Rua Bandeira Paulista cuts through the residential core between Avenida Brigadeiro Faria Limai and Avenida Juscelino Kubitscheki, a few minutes’ walk from Parque do Povoi and from Rua Leopoldo Couto de Magalhães Júniori, home to the city’s largest concentration of restaurants. On the other side, the border with Vila Nova Conceiçãoi and the proximity to Parque Ibirapuerai give the address the calm side of the equation. Shopping JK Iguatemii, Hospital São Luizi and Vila Olímpia Stationi round off the services on offer — and the walk to the office, for many who live here, does away with the need for a car.
