Saint Patrick Vila Nova Conceição

History

Saint Patrick occupies a plot on Rua Domingos Leme, in the residential heart of Vila Nova Conceiçãoi. It is a single tower of seventeen storeys. The condominium bearing its name was established before the Federal Revenue Service in May 1993, and that is the earliest date that can be documented about the building. Public sources in circulation disagree on the year construction was completed and, for that reason, the date is not fixed here; the design credit is likewise not publicly documented.

• Concept: a single tower and spacious four-bedroom layouts in a neighbourhood that has almost no land left to develop — small scale, closed address.
• Curiosities: the building’s registration with the Federal Revenue Service is still that of a construction condominium — the registration opened to carry out the works, which was never replaced by that of the instituted condominium. It is the same, active, company registration number the building has carried through three decades.
• Not to be confused with: this is the Saint Patrick on Rua Domingos Leme, in Vila Nova Conceiçãoi, with no documented builder. There is a second building with a similar name, St. Patricki, on Rua Frederic Chopin, in Jardim Europai — that one built by Construtora São Joséi, part of the house’s “St.” line: they are homonyms, with no relation to each other.

Architecture and aesthetics

A single tower, seventeen storeys, sited on a plot in the residential stretch of the street. The architectural design credit is not publicly documented and, for that reason, is not attributed here — the same applies to the interior design and landscaping of the common areas.

Vila Nova Conceição: the address

Vila Nova Conceiçãoi is the neighbourhood São Paulo treats as a reserve: a tight handful of blocks between Parque do Ibirapuerai, Itaim Bibii and Moemai, with short streets, corner shops and a residential fabric that has not grown at the pace of the rest of the city. Rua Domingos Leme runs within this fabric, away from the through avenues. It is an address where the stock is what it is: there is practically no new land to develop, and what changes hands are the units already built.
