Kalea Jardins

History

From Tecnisai, with architecture by Athié Wohnrathi, landscaping by Benedito Abbudi and interiors by Patricia Anastassiadisi, Kalea Jardins is a launch on the corner of Rua da Consolação and Alameda Lorena, about 350 metres from the metro and near Trianon Parki and Avenida Paulistai. One apartment per floor and spacious layouts define the project, with each level anchored to a single resident.

• Concept: the high-end launch with one resident per floor, in the heart of Jardinsi.
• Curiosities: repeats the Benedito Abbudi and Patricia Anastassiadisi duo, already seen at GIOi and Gran Parci.

Architecture and aesthetics

Contemporary and high-end, the single Kalea tower spends in height what the axis zoning would allow it to spend in density: twenty-eight storeys for twenty-eight families, on a 3,289 m² plot with unrestricted height limit. The gesture that defines the building lies in that arithmetic — the entire slab belongs to a single resident, the lift opens onto a private hall and the floor plan runs the full width of the storey, with the gourmet balcony facing outward and the armoured guardhouse closing off the base. The design is by Athié Wohnrathi, a practice with a tradition of corporate rigour and execution in complex developments; the interiors are by Patricia Anastassiadisi and the landscaping by Benedito Abbudi.

Jardim Paulista: the address

Two names for the same address

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

The address is a boundary corner. Rua da Consolaçãoi functions at once as a traffic axis and as an urban boundary — on one side the commercial density of Cerqueira Césari, on the other the residential core of the Jardinsi — and it is exactly at the crossing with Alameda Lorenai that Kalea leans on both. Along the avenue come Estação Oscar Freirei a short walk away, Estação Clínicasi just beyond, and the short climb up to Avenida Doutor Arnaldoi, with Hospital das Clínicasi and Incori in the densest hospital stretch of the city. Along the alameda the other neighbourhood begins: Alameda Lorenai alternates blocks of street commerce and dining with strictly residential blocks, and Rua Oscar Freirei follows next. It is a declared trade-off: living here means giving up the quiet alameda at the door and gaining, in its place, the one thing the core of Jardim Paulistai does not offer: the metro on foot and a quick way out of the area without relying on the internal traffic of the blocks.
