Edifício Sainte Claire

History

Conceived in 2010 by Porte Engenharia e Urbanismoi, with architectural and interior design by J.J. Abrão Arquitetura e Decoraçãoi, the Sainte Claire anchored an exceptional top-tier building in the East Zone. In Jardim Anália Francoi, a short walk from Shopping Anália Francoi and CERETi, the tower is described as the region’s largest residential slab, a private haven of club-style leisure and large floor plans sailing alone through a stretch of the city not accustomed to this calibre.

• Concept: the East Zone’s top tier, with floor areas and club-style leisure rare for the region.

Architecture and aesthetics

The building is explained by its slab. There are about 625 m² of private area in the standard floor plan — described by sources as the largest residential slab in the East Zone — in a thirty-storey tower, with three living rooms, all with a balcony, and a gourmet balcony equipped with a barbecue and pizza oven. None of this would fit in an ordinary layout: the plot is 6,639 m² with only 21 metres of frontage, that is, a deep, narrow-necked plot, where the tower sits at the block’s core and the free ground around it becomes the leisure deck — three heated pools, courts, two function rooms, thirty visitor parking spaces — invisible to passers-by on the street. Inside, the same scale: marble flooring, a climate-controlled wine cellar, a master suite with walk-in closet, fireplace and hot tub. Architecture and decoration came from the same house, J.J. Abrãoi, which in that same year of 2010 designed for Portei the Amadeo Modigliani Residenciali, in the neighbouring district — two exercises on the same theme, generous floor area as the argument, in a stretch of the city that rarely offers it.

Jardim Anália Franco: the address

Jardim Anália Francoi is the East Zone’s planned neighbourhood — laid out all at once, tree-lined, with regular blocks and a residential core the city never had time to disrupt. It is organised around two hubs, and Rua Professor João de Oliveira Torres falls between them: CERETi, Tatuapéi‘s large public sports complex, is under three hundred metres away; Shopping Anália Francoi, a little over five hundred. Within the same short radius are traditional schools, two hospitals with helipads and Estação Anália Francoi, on Line 2 – Green, plus Estação Itapurai, on the CPTM. It is an address offering a complete life within the region itself: school, sport, shopping and doctors are all handled without crossing the city — which is, in the end, the reason the East Zone’s top tier stayed in the East Zone instead of migrating to the other side of the river.
