St. Patrick

History

By Construtora São Joséi, with architecture by William Simonatoi in the house standard, St. Patrick belongs to the builder’s “St.” line, in Jardim Europai, with views over the green deck of Parque do Povoi, a step from Clube Pinheirosi. With one flat per floor, it follows the line’s standard, with spacious layouts and complete leisure facilities, a neighbourhood sibling of St. Louisi.

• Concept: the low-density, high-end standard of the “St.” line, with one resident per floor, in Jardim Europa.
• Not to be confused with: this is the St. Patrick in Jardim Europai, on Rua Frederic Chopin — one of the buildings in Construtora São Joséi‘s “St.” line, a neighbourhood sibling of St. Louisi. There is a second building with a similar name, Saint Patricki, on Rua Domingos Leme, in Vila Nova Conceiçãoi, with no documented builder: they are homonyms, with no relation to each other.

Architecture and aesthetics

Contemporary and high-end, St. Patrick is less a standalone project than an edition of the “St.” line — the standard that William Simonatoi developed for Construtora São Joséi and repeated at neighbouring addresses: single tower, one flat per floor, a 25-metre lane and lean leisure facilities, made of large pieces rather than a long list. What singles out this edition is the ground: 4,898 m² of plot for a single tower. It is the plot’s slack that keeps the building away from the boundaries and, on the other side, sustains the open view over Parque do Povoi that every 454 m² layout promises. The interior design and landscaping credits are not publicly documented and are therefore not attributed here.

Jardim Europa: the address

Two names for the same address

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

On Rua Frederic Chopin, the street where Jardim Europai went vertical, number 240 is the one that best keeps the land scale of before: 4,898 m² of plot, the measure of the lot that the Companhia City opened for houses, not towers. The effect is urban before it is private — the block keeps the void that the original subdivision anticipated. Add to that Parque do Povoi at 150 metres and the edge of Parque Bruno Covasi at 201, and the address ends up with two gardens it did not need to keep within its own walls. That is the difference between this stretch and the neighbourhood’s horizontal core, which climbs Rua Tucumãi towards Esporte Clube Pinheirosi: there, the green is private and walled; here, it is public and three minutes’ walk away.
