Capri Lifestyle by Dolce&Gabbana Casa

History

Cyrelai presented Capri Lifestyle by Dolce&Gabbana Casa as Latin America’s first residential development with furniture by the Italian house — a move the brand had, until then, only made in Miami. The name comes from the island of Capri, in southern Italy, and the entire repertoire comes from there: the interiors incorporate the house’s iconic patterns, such as Carretto Siciliano and Blu Mediterraneo, and the Blue Majolica collection sets the tone for the common areas. It is a branded residence in the most literal sense of the term — it is not the façade that carries the signature, it is what one lives in.

The address is the same developer’s second move on the same block. Across Rua Joaquim Antunes, at number 377, rises Epic by Pininfarinai, also by Cyrelai, also with an Italian signature. These are two distinct buildings, on opposite corners of the same intersection with Avenida Rebouçasi — and the coincidence is no accident: the block is ZEU, an urban structuring axis with unrestricted height limit, one of the few in the area where a tall tower is allowed.

• Concept: the Mediterranean spirit translated into living — Italian design, art and furniture as part of the product, not as showroom decoration.
• Trivia: the same building houses 81 HMP units (Habitação de Mercado Popular, or affordable housing) of 25 to 37 m², between the 4th and 12th floors, in an independent condominium, with independent entrances and its own address at Rua Joaquim Antunes, 358. This is the axis’s urban-planning trade-off, declared by the developer itself in the legal fine print — and it is what allowed the tower to rise as high as it did.

Architecture and aesthetics

Cyrelai credits itself with the architecture in the official material, and reserves the external signature for what actually matters in the product: the design by Dolce&Gabbana Casai, which merges with the architecture to give continuity between interior and façade. The tower is a single one and the approach contemporary; the visual repertoire is Mediterranean, applied through graphic pattern and palette before it is through form. The authorship of the architectural project and the landscaping is not published in the developer’s own channels and is therefore not attributed here.

Jardim Europa: the address

Rua Joaquim Antunes is one of those streets that the register calls Pinheirosi and the market sells as Jardim Europai — and Cyrelai is explicit about the reason: the address sits “between the dynamism of Pinheiros and the exclusive atmosphere of Jardim Europa.” The street runs down from Avenida Rebouçasi toward the residential core, and that dual nature is the product: axis-level square metre, garden-neighbourhood surroundings.

The Fragata collection already gathers nineteen addresses in Jardim Europai, and this one arrives to pair with the tallest of them all — Epic by Pininfarinai, a hundred metres away, on the opposite corner. The two share the same urban logic: Boulevard Île de La Citéi, Les Jardinsi, San Marinoi and the garden-neighbourhood’s saints are a few minutes’ walk away, on the horizontal layout that does not densify; here, on the edge, the law allows going up. Avenida Rebouçasi leads to Estação Oscar Freirei and the hospital axis; Avenida Brigadeiro Faria Limai and Shopping Iguatemi São Pauloi are a few blocks away. The trade-off is what one would expect of any axis address: Rebouças is a heavy-traffic avenue, and the same law that authorises this building’s height authorises the neighbours’ too.
