Castelbianco

History

From the developer Elias Victor Nigrii, with architecture by Felippe Crescentii, Castelbianco is a top-tier building conceived for the few, in Higienópolisi. The living rooms have double ceiling height and the private balconies open onto a panoramic view of the green areas of Avenida Pacaembui. It is anchored two minutes from FAAP.

• Concept: exclusivity with very few units, with a double-height living room and green views.
• Trivia: the balcony facing Pacaembui guarantees an open horizon, rare in the neighbourhood.

Architecture and aesthetics

Eight apartments across nine floors, one per floor: Felippe Crescentii‘s building spends its height on ceiling height and balconies, not on the number of units. The double-height living room is the main gesture — the internal volume of a house within a building —, and the accompanying panoramic balcony faces the only horizon the region still guarantees, the greenery of Avenida Pacaembui. The two basement levels are an arithmetic consequence: six parking spaces per apartment, seven in the penthouse, on a 1,414 m² plot can only fit underground. Three lifts for eight families round off the scale, which is that of a house, not a building. The interior design and landscaping projects are not publicly documented and, for that reason, are not attributed here.

Higienópolis: the address

FAAPi is on the same street, at number 903 — and that sums up the logic of this end of Higienópolisi. The campus, with its museum, theatre and cinema, gives the neighbourhood a daytime life that no other residential stretch has, without bringing through-traffic along with it. Number 1020 on Rua Alagoas sits at the end of that strip, where the neighbourhood bids farewell and Pacaembui begins: Feira do Pacaembu sets up on the stadium’s esplanade less than two hundred metres away, three mornings a week, and it is the neighbouring neighbourhood’s heritage listing that keeps the view low in front of the balcony. The rest is a short walk away — Shopping Pátio Higienópolisi, Parque Buenos Airesi, Hospital Samaritanoi — and Estação FAAP-Pacaembui, on Line 6 – Orange, falls within the same radius. It is an established neighbourhood that gained, belatedly, an underground station within walking distance.
