Maison D'Orleans

History

Maison D’Orleans is the work of Adolpho Lindenbergi — the builder who, since the 1950s, convinced São Paulo’s elite to trade the house for the flat and made the classical repertoire its trademark. The so-called “Lindenberg style” came to set the tone for much of the city’s luxury buildings, and it was the same firm that produced the country’s first flat and the first building with private pools on the terraces, both in the Jardinsi. Here, the repertoire appears on a small scale: an 800 sq m plot, seven units, eight storeys. The architectural design is by Marcos Tomaniki.

• Concept: few families, large floor plans and a classical-repertoire façade on a short plot — privacy solved by the number of units, not by the wall.
• Curiosities: the penthouse is a 949 sq m triplex, with five suites, library, studio, gourmet area and sun deck with jacuzzi — almost double the standard apartment, with up to nine parking spaces. On the standard floor, the 385 sq m plan has two kitchens and two staff bedrooms, a legacy of a time when the large house came with the structure to run it.

Architecture and aesthetics

A single eight-storey tower, two lift shafts and a neoclassical façade — cornices, symmetry and the vocabulary that Adolpho Lindenbergi stamped on the Jardins when most of the market had already moved the other way. The standard floor plan is generous and articulated: private social hall, a three-room living area with fireplace, dining room, breakfast room and pantry, with balconies wrapping around the body of the apartment — there is a terrace at every window, which guarantees cross-light and permanent ventilation. The building’s interior design and landscaping credits are not publicly documented and, for that reason, are not attributed here.

Jardim Paulista: the address

Rua Henrique Martins belongs to the part of Jardim Paulistai that already breathes Ibirapuerai: a short, residential street, between Avenida Brigadeiro Luís Antônioi and the tree-lined heart that separates the Jardinsi from the park. It is a stretch of settled neighbourhood with little free land — the buildings on the block are of similar scale, with names from the same Francophile vintage, and the street-level shops, restaurants and neighbourhood schools are all within walking distance. Whoever lives here has the park on one side and Avenida Paulistai on the other, without depending on either.
