Murano Jardins

History

Developed and built by R. Yazbeki in partnership with America Propertiesi, Murano opened in 2005 on a narrow, tree-lined alameda in Jardim Paulistai, between Alameda Campinasi and Alameda Francai. The builder, which spans three decades of work concentrated in the region’s highest-end central area, delivered here one of its largest units-per-floor-area buildings: 413 m² in the standard floor plan, with four suites and five parking spaces. The name comes from the Venetian glass island — and is the key to the façade.

• Concept: few units, large floor area and continuous social space on a plot on a quiet street, walking distance from Avenida Paulistai.
• Curiosities: the same author signs both the architectural project and the interior design — Pablo Slemensoni designed the building and the interiors, which is unusual for a market-rate building and explains the continuity between façade and floor plan. The records in circulation also register a penthouse of 825 m², with five bedrooms and seven parking spaces.

Architecture and aesthetics

A single tower, contemporary language, imposing massing: Murano is one of the buildings recognisable from a distance on the alameda. The 413 m² floor plan is organised around a living room framed by a long balcony — in some units, nearly 200 m² of terrace integrated with the kitchen and a garden area — with the private area of four suites separated from the social area and two staff quarters in the original floor plan. The landscaping is by Gilberto Elkisi, who worked on the ground floor and common areas; the interior design is by Pablo Slemensoni himself. Two decades after delivery, the building remains a reference point for the neighbourhood’s architecture, and several units have undergone full renovations signed by contemporary studios.

Jardim Paulista: the address

Jardim Paulistai is the neighbourhood where São Paulo learned to live well and never unlearned it. Alameda Sarutaiá is a short, tree-lined street in the quadrant between Alameda Campinasi and Alameda Francai, in the stretch where the Jardinsi border Avenida Paulistai without inheriting its bustle — a residential street on one side, the city’s financial and cultural axis on the other. All around is the country’s largest concentration of dining, from the historic tables of the Jardins to the new establishments on Rua Oscar Freirei, plus traditional schools, leading hospitals and half a dozen metro stations within a few minutes’ reach.
