Sunset Hill

History

Sunset Hill occupies 1,058 m² of plot in the block enclosed by Avenida Angélica, Rua Bahia, Rua Novo Horizonte and Rua Goiás — the point where Higienópolis stops being avenue and becomes tree-lined street. It is a low tower for the area’s standard: municipal records measure 26.65 metres in height over a floor projection of 301 m², a figure that fixes the building at a single flat per floor. The authorship and year of completion are not documented in a primary source and are therefore not stated here.

• Concept: house-sized layouts at townhouse height — just over 260 m² per floor, four suites and four parking spaces, in a tower that does not compete in height with Angélica.
• Trivia: the name is not ornamental. Two estate agents who know the building from the inside describe, in independent listings, the same thing: an open view — and, in the words of one of them, definitive — over the Pacaembui valley.

Architecture and aesthetics

Single tower, low and wide: 301 m² of floor plate for a single flat, with two thirds of the plot left over for the footprint and podium. The standard layout delivers a two-area living room and two balconies — one of them a gourmet balcony, with a barbecue —, and the building’s base resolves the leisure facilities without going up. The architectural authorship is not publicly documented and is therefore not attributed here.

Higienópolis: the address

Higienópolisi is the neighbourhood that São Paulo built for good living long before there was Jardinsi, and that never needed to reinvent itself to remain expensive. Rua Bahia runs through the residential core, between Avenida Angélica — the axis that brings the underground, shops and Shopping Pátio Higienópolisi — and the layout of tree-lined streets that descends towards Parque Buenos Airesi. It is a neighbourhood of traditional schools, walkable pavements and a neighbourliness where people know each other; Avenida Paulistai is a few minutes away, and the Pacaembui valley delivers a horizon that almost no central São Paulo neighbourhood still has.
