Living on Avenida Paulista means – in every sense – living at the highest point of one of the most important cities in Latin America. Thus, this project conceived by architect – and resident – Ricardo Abreu explores the modernist characteristics of the Paulicéia Building , located in the region.

In contrast to the dense and monochromatic look of the city, the apartment surprises the eye with its view of Avenida Paulista framed by the wide variety of vegetation that makes up the project concept.

As you walk through the 165 m², a mix of styles and languages make up the project. The neoclassical elements , the geometric paintings on the walls, and the contemporary works of art combine different layers of history, as an analogy to the history of the city .
Lowered boiseries and coving blend in with the lines of exposed galvanized pipes that run along ceilings and walls. In addition to being a residence, the apartment was also designed to accommodate the architect's work environment .
