1125 Joaquim Building, SP, Brasil

The 1125 Joaquim building, designed by Perkins&Will São Paulo, is a sophisticated and innovative residential proposal in a privileged location in Itaim Bibi, just three blocks from Brazil’s main financial center. The 25-floors project features striking integration with the urban landscape, using simple shapes, neutral colors and natural elements, such as wood and vegetation, to create an elegant and timeless look. Aluminum sunshades and planters with a woody finish create a unique composition, while generous frames allow the entry of natural light and ventilation, promoting a harmonious connection with the outside.

The quality of the apartments is evidenced by the breadth and freedom of the plans, resulting from the combination of double-height units and mezzanines, in addition to the innovative use of solid slabs without interference from beams. The building has two residential units per floor, which can be composed of 2 or 4 suites – including duplex options and those with gardens. The residential plans feature integrated social spaces, which prioritize panoramic views and offer layout flexibility, including the possibility of unifying two units.

The layout of the rooms was designed to facilitate the integration of environments: rooms and terraces are side by side, while the service areas were strategically positioned to guarantee functionality without interfering with the integration of social spaces. Designed to promote quality of life, 1125 Joaquim offers a complete structure of leisure areas – with a gym, swimming pool, children’s play area, sauna, massage room, spa and party room – and contact with nature, guaranteed by André’s landscaping project Paoliello, which fills all common areas.

In addition to abundant natural lighting and integrated landscaping, the building incorporates sustainable solutions, such as water reservation and reuse and a structure for installing solar panels. Based on harmonious integration with its surroundings, 1125 Joaquim offers sophisticated and functional environments combined with intelligent and flexible units. Its strategic position in the urban landscape – framed by the Pátio Malzoni building – adds a distinctive element to the building located in the most valued neighbourhood of the capital of São Paulo.
