Villa Mandú

History

From Oittoi, Villa Mandú is an ultra-exclusive condominium of houses in Jardim Paulistanoi, on a heavily tree-lined street between Shopping Iguatemii and the Pinheirosi and Hebraicai clubs. There are very few houses, of very generous floor area, under construction.

• Concept: the large house, in a gated condominium of very few units, in Jardim Paulistanoi.

Architecture and aesthetics

What is documented about the development is the programme — and it is the programme of a large single-family residence, not an expanded apartment: houses of 843 to 950 sqm, five bedrooms, four to five suites, their own service lift, pool and barbecue area in each unit. In a condominium of two or three houses, that means practically nothing the family uses is common area: the leisure amenities, the vertical circulation and the service areas are all inside the house, and the single gate answers only for the lobby and security. Construction is underway and the aesthetic reading available is contemporary high-end. The architectural project’s signature is not publicly documented and, for that reason, is not attributed here.

Jardim Paulistano: the address

Rua Manduri is a closed-block street, with no through traffic and heavily tree-lined, and number 619 occupies a hinge position on it. Within less than four hundred metres are Parque Bruno Covasi, at 161, Shopping Eldoradoi, at 343, and Estação Hebraica-Rebouçasi, at 378; within less than nine hundred, Estação Faria Limai and the corporate axis of Avenida Brigadeiro Faria Limai. It is the point in Jardim Paulistanoi where three logics of the city touch without mixing — the riverfront, the Avenida Rebouçasi corridor and the neighbourhood’s traditional clubs — and the street, in the middle of them, keeps being a residential street. Addresses like this are not planned: they are what is left over from an old layout the city grew around without ever managing to cut through.
