Ibate Building / Studio Arthur Casas

"The Ibaté Building, designed by Studio Arthur Casas for the developer Cáucaso, is situated on a corner lot in the Vila Nova Conceição neighborhood of São Paulo - a transitional zone between the city's denser axis and a calm residential urban fabric. This urban condition was fundamental for the implantation decisions and for the relationship of the building with its surroundings, allowing the project to engage with both the vertical scale of the metropolis and the gentler flows of the neighborhood."

"This urban condition was fundamental for the implantation decisions and for the relationship of the building with its surroundings, allowing the project to engage with both the vertical scale of the metropolis and the gentler flows of the neighborhood. The design approach, therefore, prioritizes spatial quality and integration with the urban environment, focusing on constructive clarity, conscious use of materiality, and the enhancement of common spaces."

Ibaté Building, designed by Studio Arthur Casas for developer Cáucaso, occupies a corner lot in the Vila Nova Conceição neighborhood of São Paulo at the edge between the city's denser axis and a quieter residential fabric. The transitional urban condition determined placement and defined how the building relates to surrounding streets and blocks, enabling engagement with both the vertical scale of the metropolis and the gentler flows of the neighborhood. The design prioritizes spatial quality, urban integration, constructive clarity, a conscious use of materials, and the enhancement of common areas to balance metropolitan presence with neighborhood sensitivity.
