Louisiana

History

The Louisiana is a project by Construtora Adolpho Lindenbergi, which lists it by its address — Peixoto Gomide, 2022 — in its own inventory of completed works. That inventory, however, does not date the projects, and no public source documents either the exact handover year or the project’s authorship: for that reason, neither is fixed here. What is known with a date is that the building was already among the developer’s completed works in 2002. The name belongs to the geographic series with which the house named a good part of its São Paulo portfolio over the decades: alongside Alexandria, Casablanca, Tangier, Morocco, Isle of Crete, Palma de Majorca, Sardinia and Corsica, the Louisiana is the American chapter of a collection that spans the Mediterranean. The block is the developer’s own territory: on the same block, it also built the Visconde de Ouro Preto, on Alameda Ministro Rocha Azevedo, and the Adele, on Rua Barão de Capanema.

• Concept: one apartment per storey on a 471 m² plot — concentration taken to its limit, with the whole floor plan occupying the slab and the balconies facing the tree-lined street.
• Curiosities: three buildings by the same developer share this block. It is no market coincidence: Adolpho Lindenberg built systematically along Barão de Capanema and Rocha Azevedo, and the Louisiana is one piece of that ensemble.

Architecture and aesthetics

Neoclassical — the language that Construtora Adolpho Lindenbergi turned into a signature and that has crossed half a century without ageing. The entrance is imposing and the building presents itself through its façade, not through its amenities. The municipal cadastre measures the tower at 47.8 metres in height over a floor footprint of 286 m²: once circulation space is deducted, it is a slab for a single apartment. The balconies run facing Peixoto Gomide, at the height where the street’s trees reach the window.

Jardim Paulista: the address

Rua Peixoto Gomide runs down from the heart of the Jardinsi towards Cerqueira Césari, and in this stretch — between Barão de Capanema and Alameda Ministro Rocha Azevedo — it is a strictly residential street, tree-lined and with light traffic. It is one of the densest blocks in signature buildings in the whole region: the block and its neighbours concentrate works by Construtora Adolpho Lindenbergi built up over decades. Agents who know the building sell the address on the walk to Club Athletico Paulistanoi and the proximity of the tables and shop windows of Rua Oscar Freirei; the rest of the neighbourhood — schools, street shops, Avenida Paulistai — was already settled beforehand.
