Palais Royal

History

By Solidii, Palais Royal is a neoclassical building from the mid-2000s on Rua Guarará, in Jardim Paulistai. With one apartment per floor, it offers spacious layouts and the classical aesthetic that gives the building its name.

• Concept: the low-density neoclassical building, with one resident per floor, in Jardim Paulistai.

Architecture and aesthetics

Neoclassical by declared choice, at a time when São Paulo’s high end was already migrating en masse to the contemporary language — here the aesthetic does not clad the product, it is the product. The design is by Itamar Berezini, an architect known for single-tower, large-scale high-end work, and the development is by Solidii, which delivered the building in 2005. The gesture that defines it, however, lies behind the name: a single apartment per floor, layouts from 315 to 360 m² with balcony and four suites, five parking spaces with storage room per unit. The language is classical; the layout is low density — and it is the latter, not the former, that explains why the address has aged well. The authorship of the interiors and landscaping is not publicly documented and, for that reason, is not attributed here.

Jardim Paulista: the address

Rua Guarará runs through the eastern quadrant of Jardim Paulistai, across the blocks that descend from the Avenida Paulistai axis towards Avenida Brigadeiro Luís Antônioi and, behind it, towards Parque Ibirapuerai. This is Jardim Paulistai without the tourists: this part of the neighbourhood has no designer shop windows or restaurant itinerary, and the shops serving the block are neighbourhood ones — Jardim Pamplona Shoppingi handles day-to-day needs a few minutes away, Colégio Assunçãoi and Colégio Winnicotti are practically on the corner, and the markets on Alameda Casa Brancai and Avenida Brigadeiro Luís Antônioi set the neighbourhood’s street agenda. Rua Oscar Freirei and Avenida Paulistai remain nearby, but do not pass by the door — and that is what is bought here: the neighbourhood’s prestige without the traffic it attracts.
