Casa Jardim Dona Elisa

History

From Seed Incorpi, with architecture by Jorge Pessoai, Casa Jardim Dona Elisa brings to Jardim Paulistanoi the idea of a real house within a gated condominium. There are only four houses, with fully private spaces, from the living room, kitchen and garden to the gourmet rooftop, each one a reserved harbour within the city.

• Concept: house living, vertical and private, in a gated condominium of very few units.
• Trivia: each house has four floors and its own rooftop, with a heated infinity-edge pool.

Architecture and aesthetics

The condominium of few houses is Jorge Pessoai‘s recurring line, and here the project solves an arithmetic problem before it solves a façade: a 1,224 m² plot divided among four residences does not let the house spread out, so it grows upward. Hence the verticality of each unit — four stacked slabs adding up to just over 600 m², which pile onto a single address the programme that a house in the Jardinsi would spread over an entire plot. The gesture that defines the set is at the top: the backyard, which in a ground-floor house sits behind and at ground level, here rises to the roof, and the infinity-edge pool occupies the highest and most private point of the residence, with no street and no neighbour on the same level. The infrastructure follows the same logic of being built in rather than optional — water reuse, automation, sockets for two electric cars and provision for solar panels are born with the project, not with a future renovation. The aesthetic is the contemporary, timeless reading of living that the office pursues, with strong integration between interior, private garden and natural light.

Jardim Paulistano: the address

This is an address of stitched boundaries, and the postcode itself tells the story: Rua Dona Elisa Pereira de Barros is issued by the postal service under Jardim Europai and, in market terms, is treated as Jardim Paulistanoi. In practice, it carries both natures — the low density and wide street of one side of the boundary, the established infrastructure of the other. The surroundings are a short walk away: Parque Bruno Covasi at 205 metres, A Hebraicai at 262, Shopping Eldoradoi at 575 and Iguatemii at 644, with Estação Hebraica-Rebouçasi at 600 metres solving Line 9 without a car. It is the stretch where the neighbourhood’s residential streets reach the riverside before reaching any avenue — which is why, here, anyone looking for a house competes for the same plot with anyone looking for land to develop.
