Vilas do Palácio

History

Vilas do Palácio is by FFii, the developer of small-house condominiums along the Cidade Jardimi–Morumbii axis. The plot is the most concrete piece of data in the project: 2,712 m² in a block of two-thousand-square-meter lots in the Jardim Morumbi subdivision — the municipal tax registry still classifies it as land, with no construction, which dates the operation as a recent acquisition of a lot that stood empty on an already established street. Construction is underway, with the developer declaring the ground preparation at 90% and the foundation not yet started; there is no public delivery date in the material consulted.

• Concept: houses of a single floor plan in a gated condominium, in the customizable family house format the developer repeats in Morumbi and Cidade Jardim.
• Curiosities: the plot is ZER-1 — an exclusively residential zone —, the same rule that keeps the neighborhood of the Palácio dos Bandeirantesi in houses rather than towers.

Architecture and aesthetics

The architectural design is by Sader & Heer Arquiteturai and the landscaping by Roberta Venturai, both stated by the developer. The published floor area is a single figure — 552.62 m² —, which suggests a design intent of repetition: one house designed and built as many times as the lot allows, rather than different unit types. It is the opposite of what the same developer has done at other addresses, where the floor area varies under a single design language. Here, if there is variation, it lies within the interior.

Jardim Morumbi: the address

Jardim Morumbii is the residential subdivision occupying the central hillside of Morumbii, between Avenida Morumbi and Rua Senador Otávio Mangabeira. It is the sector of the neighborhood where the lots were designed at two thousand square meters and were never subdivided — the block on Rua Doutor Celso Dario Guimarães still records, in the tax registry, plots of 2,000, 2,152 and 2,400 m². The Palácio dos Bandeirantesi, seat of the São Paulo state government, is nearby, and it is this proximity that sets the tone: wide streets, high walls, a permanent public-security presence in the surroundings and almost no street-level commerce. Shopping Cidade Jardimi and Hospital Israelita Albert Einsteini are within a few minutes’ drive, as are Morumbi’s international schools. There is no metro: Estação Morumbii on Line 9 sits down in the Pinheiros floodplain, far from the hill, and the neighborhood has always run on cars. In return comes what cannot be bought anywhere else in the city — silence, greenery and a large lot ten minutes from Marginal Pinheirosi.
