Palazzo Montalcino

History

Palazzo Di Montalcino was delivered in 2008 by Ravici Incorporações, an ultra-exclusive single tower of just 24 flats, one per floor, on the corner of Rua Inhambu and Av. República do Líbano, a few metres from Parque Ibirapuera. The units, from 500 to 1,500 m², have 4 to 5 suites and 6 to 7 parking spaces, with private club leisure facilities — heated pool, gym, sauna and squash court.

Architecture and aesthetics

The design principle is scale. One flat per floor, with floor plans starting at 500 m² and reaching 1,500 m² at the top, on a 3,040 m² corner plot — a large plot for a neighbourhood of small blocks, and spent here on programme, not on the number of front doors. It is this generous space that supports a club-style podium, with a multi-sports court, squash court, heated pool and garden, and it is also where the heavy-duty infrastructure typical of the 2000s comes from, built into the project rather than added later: central heating and a generator. The language is classic, and the name borrows from the Tuscan commune of Montalcino. The architectural design credit is not publicly documented and is therefore not attributed here; the same applies to the interior design and landscaping projects.

Moema: the address

Number 7 is the start of Rua Inhambu, where it springs from Avenida República do Líbano, and it is an address that every register names differently: the postcode records Vila Uberabinha, the market sells it as Moemai and the nursery school eighty metres away is listed under Vila Nova Conceiçãoi. This overlap of names is the exact description of the stretch — three neighbourhoods touch here, and none of them rules alone. What rules is the avenue: from it come the access and the Saturday market three hundred and fifty metres away, and it is by it that the proximity of Parque Ibirapuerai, one hundred and ninety metres away, is measured. The price of this position appears on the other side of the equation — Moema Stationi on Line 5 – Lilac and Shopping Ibirapuerai are more than seven hundred metres away, in the opposite direction from the green. It is the edge of Moemai, with everything an edge has: the best of two neighbourhoods and the centre of neither.
