L'Essence Jardins

History

From InPari, L’Essence Jardins is a coveted 2005 classic, with one apartment per floor, at a highly prestigious address in Jardinsi. It belongs to the L’Essence line, InPari‘s luxury brand from the 2000s, with spacious layouts and club-style leisure anchored in a scale of rarity.

• Concept: the classic of extremely spacious layouts (five suites), with club-style leisure, in Jardins.
• Curiosities: “L’Essence” is InPari‘s luxury line, with a sister building in Vila Nova Conceiçãoi, L’Essence VNC.

Architecture and aesthetics

A single tower, thirty-four storeys, one apartment per floor: the building is the repetition of a huge slab — a bit over seven hundred square metres with five suites — stacked up to the duplex penthouse that crowns it. The approach is one of scale, not shape: instead of dividing the floor, InPari spent the entire storey on a single family and left the façade to the living room’s continuous terrace, which repeats from the first to the last standard unit. On the ground, the counterpart — a tennis court, a multi-sport court and the pools occupy the area that the tower, made as vertical as possible, didn’t spend on footprint; it’s club-style leisure inside a plot in Jardinsi. The architectural project’s authorship is not publicly documented and is therefore not attributed here.

Jardim América: the address

Two names for the same address

The plot sits on the border between Jardim América and Cerqueira César, and both names are legitimate. The postcode registers Cerqueira César; the high-end market treats the address as Jardim América. This entry adopts the name in common use and keeps the other for anyone searching by it.

The address has two certificates, and both tell the truth: the postcode for number 1725 on Rua Haddock Loboi is Cerqueira Césari‘s, and the ultra-high-end market treats the block as Jardim Américai — it’s exactly the stretch where the Companhia City garden neighbourhood, laid out by Barry Parker over large plots and set-back houses, meets the dense fabric of Jardinsi. Haddock Lobo descends from the area around Avenida Paulistai, crossing the neighbourhood’s alamedas; at the junction with Rua Oscar Freirei sits the country’s most expensive shopping strip, and in the following blocks the use dilutes into restaurants, clinics and residential buildings. It’s in this already calm stretch that number 1725 falls, a short walk from Estação Oscar Freirei. And the legacy of the large plot works from a distance: the garden neighbourhood’s core, right next door, doesn’t densify — which stabilises the scale of everything on the edge.
