Bravo Paulista Building Retrofit São Paulo, SP, Brasil

São Paulo, 2023 – Located at the region of “Jardins” in São Paulo city the retrofit of Bravo Paulista has challenged this architecture practice to transform, to value and to give a new infrastructure to an existing office building. Its implantation, perpendicular to Santos Avenue, composes in sequence to Scarpa Building on Paulista Avenue.

The Ground floor of those two buildings shelter commercial spaces, which are accessed through a linear and public path for pedestrians that connects these two important ways.

The intervention in the building was full. A new casing in its base gives a new meaning to its urban presence. Also, new materials to both the interior and exterior of the property, new elements which gives solar protection and a full reformulation to its technical infrastructures and communications, allows its spaces to respond to its needs to occupation and use through new works relationships ahead.

NEW “SHELLS”

To ensure the building to its new needs of occupation and to contribute to its increase of internal quality ambient, Dal Pian Arquitetos prioritized passive and bioclimatic strategies, to improve the natural cooling and lighting, achieving good control of the direct solar incidence.

Dal Pian Arquitetos stablished a new external volumetric, which values and highlights the building, adding to its base and to its body new “shells” to provide solar protection and climatic control.

In the building´s base, the windows, with their openings amplified, are protected by a “bioclimatic shell”, highlighting the facades. Composed of a metal structure fixed to the facades of the original building, it supports aluminum panels with random perforations, which does not interfere with the visual perspectives provided by the workspaces. This system when lights on at night composesa sort of “lacy” of strong architectural expression that emphasizes the building within its surrounds.

The body of the tower receives, in its front and back facades, an environmental protection in horizontal aluminum profiles that, also fixed to metallic structure detached from these facades, visually unify the building.The new and amplified windows, have glasses with high-level thermic achievement and low solar reflection, expand the views, and promotes natural and cross ventilation highlighting the building.
