Local studio FGMF Arquitetos<\/a> has completed a mixed-use building in S\u00e3o Paulo<\/a> made of stacked “protruding rectangular volumes” that contain multi-level office spaces and residences on the top floor.<\/span><\/p>\n

At 21 storeys high, the Valente building was developed by Idea!Zarvos<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The firm worked with FGMF Arquitetos on a previous building in 2016<\/a>, which explored atypical office layouts and helped to inform the design of Valente, according to the team.<\/p>\n

The building is located in “the heart” of S\u00e3o Paulo’s Pinheiros district, known for its historic character and cultural attractions, such as nightlife and restaurants.<\/p>\n

“Valente was designed from the inside out,” said FGMF partner Fernando Forte.<\/p>\n

“Idea!Zarvos’ concept was based on a three-dimensional occupation of corporate space, with triplex and duplex units that allow spatial arrangements very different from those typically found in the market, highly adaptable to occupants’ needs.”<\/p>\n

“Due to balcony regulations and the intention to create varied layouts, the building’s distinctive volumetry emerged, with deeply worked volumes and window frames that define the corner.”<\/p>\n

The building’s volume is based on the concept of “rectangles with single or double-height ceilings, projecting forward” to create balconies, according to the studio.<\/p>\n

It contains a ground-floor lobby, a stack of triplex apartments and duplex apartments in the middle, and two residential floors at the top. The eighteenth floor features a greenspace, while the upper levels also contain space for a future restaurant.<\/p>\n

At the ground level, the building is set back to provide additional sidewalk space at its “important corner” in S\u00e3o Paulo, which sits at the intersection of Cardeal Arcoverde and Capote Valente streets.<\/p>\n
