Gran Parc Vila Nova

History

By Esseri, with architecture by Dávilai, landscaping by Benedito Abbudi and decoration by Patricia Anastassiadisi, Gran Parc Vila Nova is a 2008 neoclassical building anchored at Parque Ibirapuerai, with a permanent view of the greenery. The project won international recognition for sustainability.

• Concept: low-density neoclassicism with a strong environmental agenda, at the edge of Ibirapuerai.
• Trivia: it received the international Holcim Awards for sustainability, with water reuse, recycling and energy savings.

Architecture and aesthetics

Neoclassical with symmetrical proportions, welcomed by a porte-cochère and a double-height lobby — the building was designed to be arrived at by car and entered on foot. In the floor plan, the circular balcony with a gourmet space rounds off the corner of the three-area living room with fireplace. What distinguishes the project, however, is not the style: water reuse, waste recycling and energy savings entered as an architectural decision, and that is what earned the building the Holcim Awards — an international sustainable-construction prize that rarely finds a low-density neoclassical residential building. Architecture by Dávilai, interiors by Patricia Anastassiadisi and landscaping by Benedito Abbudi.

Vila Nova Conceição: the address

Rua Inhambu begins less than two hundred metres from Parque Ibirapuerai and continues into the grid of bird-named streets that is already Moemai there. Number 66 sits in the first block — and the city’s records waver between Vila Nova Conceiçãoi and Moema to describe this stretch, which is, in practice, the exact description of the corner. The address gets the best of both sides: the park at the door, Maple Beari literally next door, and behind it the neighbourhood infrastructure of Moema — Estação Moemai on Line 5 – Lilac less than eight hundred metres away and Shopping Ibirapuerai just ahead.
