Villa Alexandra

History

Villa Alexandra belongs to the wave that turned Alameda Fernão Cardim vertical between the 1970s and 1980s, when the houses in the heart of Jardim Paulistai gave way to buildings of few units and wide floor areas. It is a four-block alameda with no through traffic, and the municipal registry today records it as an almost continuous sequence of condominium lots — Villa Alexandra among them, on a plot of one thousand square meters. The authorship of the design and the exact delivery year are not documented in a verifiable public source and are therefore not attributed here.

• Concept: a house-scale floor area in a narrow tower — one apartment per floor on a thousand-square-meter plot, with the base handling the garage and leisure areas and the tower left free for the full floor plan.
• Curiosities: the City measures the tower at 51.5 meters in height on a footprint of just 327 m² — the tall, slender-slab design that the entire alameda adopted. The neighboring buildings on the block share the mark: the Victor Hugo, at number 388, and the Corupá, at number 376, are both in the same fifty-meter range.

Architecture and aesthetics

A single tower built over a base structure. The City registers two volumes on the lot: a 710 m² ground-floor base, which covers most of the plot and houses the garage and common areas, and the tower itself, with a 327 m² footprint and 51.5 meters of height. It is this disproportion — a wide base, a narrow, tall tower — that defines the building’s silhouette on the alameda. Since the floor footprint cannot fit two units of the scale the building offers, each floor holds a single apartment: the elevator opens into the family’s own hall, and the floor plan occupies the entire slab, edge to edge, with no wall shared with a neighbor.

Jardim Paulista: the address

Alameda Fernão Cardim is one of the short cross streets that stitch together Jardim Paulistai between Avenida Paulistai and the Parque Ibirapuerai axis — four blocks of wide sidewalks, mature trees and no traffic other than residents’. It is the kind of street the neighborhood produced only a handful of times and no longer produces: walkable service commerce, Jardim Pamplona Shoppingi a few blocks away, Colégio Dante Alighierii and Colégio Assunçãoi within walking distance, and the Brigadeiroi and Trianon-MASPi stations on the other side of Avenida Paulistai. The address combines the agenda of the Jardinsi with the quiet of a residential alameda closed in on itself.
