Designed to honor the Brazilian modern architecture masters, the building is a slim concrete sheet with a slightly rotated mezzanine. This set floats 19 meters above the ground, sustained by impressive pillars in a Y shape. The monumental arrival reveals an elegant exposed concrete walkway, providing access to the lobby.

Located at the heart of Itaim Bibi neighborhood, close to Brigadeiro Faria Lima and Cidade Jardim avenues, the Casa Brasileira Itaim is one more Project signed by Pablo Slemenson, PSA Arquitetura’s principal. According to Pablo, the project’s identity started to emerge when thinking about the plot of land’s location with 70 meters facing Adolfo Tabacow Street, one of the most valued points in this neighborhood. “When the project was approved, legislation set forth facing Adolfo Tabacow street and back to Jorge Coelho street, where a monumental access was built”, he states. In the beginning, the idea was to put a porte-cochere in order to make it easier to embark and disembark at the building’s entrance, but Jorge Coelho Street’s width did not allow this element’s implementation. The solution found by Slemenson was to create a square for cars arrivals at the ground’s lower level, just at the end of the first ramp that is the access to the garages. For the pedestrians it was created an exposed concrete walkway interconnecting the condo’s entrance to the ground level lobby, where the common areas are distributed.
