Momento Vila Olímpia

History

Momento Vila Olímpia was delivered in 2012, at the height of the cycle in which Vila Olímpiai traded its fabric of warehouses and houses for large-floor-area residential towers, driven by the consolidation of the Faria Limai–Juscelino Kubitscheki axis. The choice of plot explains the product: 5,800 m² in a single lot on Avenida Doutor Cardoso de Melo — enough area to place two towers, open up a leisure core between them and still fit in a tennis court, something the surrounding thousand-square-metre plots did not allow. The names of the developer and the builder appear contradictorily across market sources and, for that reason, are not attributed here.

• Concept: the large plot spent on club-style leisure — two towers set apart from each other, with the core of the lot left free for courts, pools and garden.
• Curiosities: the main pool is neither uncovered nor simply heated: it is indoor, heated and has a lap lane, and it coexists with a second outdoor pool — the building solved the season instead of picking a side. The tennis court is the rarest item in the complex: almost no residential building built in Vila Olímpia after it managed to find room for one.

Architecture and aesthetics

Two similar towers, twenty-eight floors each, two apartments per floor. The layout in two separated slabs — instead of a single block in the middle of the lot — is what guarantees cross ventilation, free faces on both orientations and an entire core of land dedicated to leisure. In the floor plans, the proportion is that of the high-end product of the 2010s before the shrinkage: 210 m² in the standard unit, with three and four bedrooms and three suites; in the duplex penthouses, 410 m², with a double-height balcony, outdoor area with barbecue, private pool and spa. The credits for design, interiors and landscaping are not documented in any public source and are not attributed here.

Vila Olímpia: the address

Vila Olímpiai is the neighbourhood where São Paulo put its office and then discovered it wanted to live there. This stretch of Avenida Doutor Cardoso de Melo lies in the residential part of the vila — short streets such as Ribeirão Claro and Alvorada, corner squares, neighbourhood shops — and a few minutes from what makes the address valuable: Avenida Brigadeiro Faria Limai, Avenida Hélio Pellegrino, Shopping Vila Olímpiai and Shopping JK Iguatemii, with Avenida Juscelino Kubitscheki and Avenida dos Bandeirantes opening both directions of the city. It is an address that settles work, school and dinner without stepping onto an avenue — and it will only get denser, because the neighbourhood no longer has plots of almost six thousand square metres.
