Realization
PMSP – Municipal Housing Secretariat and Municipal Urban Development Secretariat
The project was developed taking advantage of these constraints by arranging the two blocks that make up the set in a staggered way, with access through the upper and lower roads, exploring the gap for both the better use of the land, which allowed a greater number of units (244 ) and floors (7 and 9), as well as an incentive to look outside, provided by adopting the transparency of hollow and perforated elements, and small balconies in the homes.
Implantation
The option of enhancing the horizontal circulation with walkways as a structuring and articulating element of the ensemble reinforces the idea of the collective space as a place of exchange, in a reference to the balcony present in the “Brazilian house” that looks onto the internal courtyard.
