Residências da Família Ramos de Azevedo

Residências da Família Ramos de Azevedo, Residential building in Cerqueira César, São Paulo, Brazil.

The Residências da Família Ramos de Azevedo are three neoclassical houses at 111, 141 and 159 Pirapitingui Street, in the Liberdade district. The architect's own house has two floors plus attic and basement, and is covered in slate, while the two neighbouring houses built for his daughters share French tiles. All three have exposed brick facades, front railings and gardens, and the grounds also hold a former coach house, garage, caretaker's residence, a garden pavilion, a stable and four iron-and-glass greenhouses.

Ramos de Azevedo began building his house at 111 Pirapitingui Street in 1891, in the then-new Liberdade district, and added the adjoining houses at 141 and 159 for his daughters. The family lived there until his death in 1928. A granddaughter occupied the main house until 1979; in 1983 it was donated to three charitable institutions, listed by Condephaat in 1985, and bought in 1988 by publisher Luiz Alves Junior, who restored it.

The buildings reflect the architectural choices that wealthy residents of São Paulo made to express their status and taste. French-style details and exposed brick show how the local upper class incorporated European influences into their homes.

The 922 m² mansion at number 111 has housed Global Editora since 1995, after owner Luiz Alves Junior bought it in 1988 and restored it. The other two houses are not open to visitors, so the complex is best seen from Pirapitingui Street, left off Rua Vergueiro.

The property was once part of a larger estate that included stables and glass greenhouses, remnants of which still survive. These features reveal how wealthy families in São Paulo once maintained gardens and agricultural spaces on their properties.
