Other Projects by PSA Arquitetura
Brazilian House
Itaim Bibi, São Paulo, SP, Brazil
Nestled in the heart of Itaim Bibi, São Paulo, the Casa Brasileira Itaim project was crafted by PSA Architecture as a tribute to the masters of Brazilian modernist architecture. Supported by Y-shaped pillars—a key technical feature—the structure appears to float 19 meters above the ground.
This high-end project, built with a slender concrete slab and a subtly rotated mezzanine, features two main volumes: the residential tower and the leisure and wellness block, separated by a lush tropical garden.
According to Pablo Slemenson, lead architect at PSA Architecture and the project's designer, Casa Brasileira Itaim’s identity began to take shape with its location on a plot boasting a 70-meter street frontage along Adolfo Tabacow, one of the most coveted areas in the neighborhood. Elevating the first floor to 19 meters—equivalent to six stories—ensured that even the social areas of the lower-level apartments enjoy views toward Adolfo Tabacow Street.
The building, measuring 60 meters in length, 90 meters in height, and encompassing 650 square meters, underwent rigorous wind tunnel testing. These simulations assess the structure’s performance during windstorms, ensuring both the building's stability and the comfort of its occupants.
Additional highlights include water reuse systems and solar panels for heating the swimming pool and water within the units. On the northern façade, dark London-style brick harmonizes with other materials while offering superior thermal and acoustic performance.
At the building’s entrance, the lack of space for a porte-cochere was addressed by creating a car plaza at the lower ground level and a concrete pedestrian walkway. This bridge connects the condominium entrance with the shared common areas.
