Lake Parque Ibirapuera

History

Developed by Lunii with Lucio Engenhariai (Grupo Luni) and built by Barbara Engenhariai, with architecture by LE Arquitetosi, landscaping by Cenárioi and interior design by B&Pi, Lake Parque Ibirapuera is a boutique residential building in Paraísoi, about 400 to 600 metres from Parque Ibirapuerai. There are just 11 units, one apartment per floor, anchored a few metres from the green.

• Concept: the very-low-density boutique, right by Ibirapuerai.

Architecture and aesthetics

Eleven units across ten storeys, on a block whose height limit permits 48 metres: LE Arquitetosi’ design chooses to build less than the law allows, and that decision defines the building. One apartment per floor, a low tower for its surroundings and, in exchange, a common area too large for eleven families — what would be inefficiency on a spreadsheet becomes rarity in use. The gardens, landscaped by Cenárioi, have their own irrigation; the interiors are by B&Pi. The infrastructure follows the same logic of durability: a generator for the whole building, an armoured gatehouse and electric-car charging points planned from delivery.

Aesthetics and scarcity

• Aesthetics: contemporary, high-end.

Paraíso: the address

Paraíso stretches from the edge of Parque Ibirapuerai to the vicinity of Avenida Paulistai, and addresses separated by half a dozen blocks belong to different worlds. Number 1474 on Rua Manuel da Nóbregai sits at the end facing the park: just over four hundred metres’ walk to the gate, on the same block where the street stops being a corridor between avenues and becomes a neighbourhood street. It is a low-turnover stretch, with early-years schools less than three hundred metres away and Jardim Pamplona Shoppingi within eight hundred. The connection to the rest of the city does not depend on the park: Estação Paraísoi brings together two underground lines, Avenida Brigadeiro Luís Antônioi runs parallel a block away and Avenida Vinte e Três de Maioi handles the north-south axis — a centrality the neighbourhood delivers without the noise of living directly on the avenue.
