Cipriani

History

Edifício Cipriani is a very-high-standard residential development delivered in June 2008, in Perdizes, a few steps from Parque da Água Branca. It comprises two towers — Ducale and La Fenice — with spacious flats from 293 to 788 m², 4 en-suites and 5 to 7 parking spaces, typically two per floor, with full leisure facilities.

Architecture and aesthetics

Cipriani is not one tower: it is two, named Ducale and La Fenice, of seven storeys each with two flats per floor — a horizontal, complex-like silhouette, closer to the club condominium that São Paulo built at the turn of the 2000s than to the tall, standalone tower that came afterwards. It is this scale that the leisure offer confirms, with a multi-sport court and a squash court within the same address, and that the floor plans confirm again: from 293 to 788 m², at a time when size was itself the design argument. Inside, what remains on record is the finish — a marble social lobby, piped gas, the grammar of high-end living from that era. The authorship of the architectural project is not publicly documented and, for that reason, is not attributed here; the same applies to the interiors and landscaping.

Perdizes: the address

In Perdizesi, the school is infrastructure. Rua Doutor Emílio Ribas sits in the northern stretch of the neighbourhood, between PUC-SPi and Parque da Água Brancai, within a radius where two traditional colleges are under three hundred metres away and the walk to class does away with the car — a declared reason behind many of the moves here. The same stretch is the best served for getting away: Estação Palmeiras-Barra Fundai brings together Line 3 – Red, the CPTM lines and the coach terminal; Estação Marechal Deodoroi opens onto the centre; and Avenida Francisco Matarazzoi leads to the ring road. It is the slice of Perdizes close enough to the centre not to depend on it and far enough from the Paulista–Faria Limai corridor to avoid its toll.
