Planalto Building

Planalto Building, Residential tower in República district, São Paulo, Brazil.

The Planalto Building is a 26-story residential tower in República, São Paulo, designed by João Artacho Jurado and completed in 1956. Its facade features continuous balconies that form straight lines, along with colored ornaments such as cobogó tiles and plaster details. The building is divided into three blocks named Santo Amaro, Maria Paula, and Genebra, containing 294 apartments.

Completed in 1956 by architect João Artacho Jurado, it introduced a fresh architectural approach to São Paulo with colorful elements and varied ornamental details. This style marked a departure from the simpler designs that had dominated the city before.

The rooftop hall has been rented for parties and events and used as a set for the miniseries "Aline", the film "Domésticas" and the telenovela "Amor à Vida". In 2016, for the building's 60th anniversary, an exhibition there gathered early drawings alongside objects and photographs lent by residents.

The building stands at Rua Maria Paula 279, on the corner of Rua Santo Amaro, facing São Paulo's city council chamber in the República district. Its three blocks are named Santo Amaro, Maria Paula and Genebra. The facade with continuous balconies and coloured pastilha and plaster ornaments is best seen from the street; the rooftop hall is not open to the public.

The rooftop hall hosted shoots for the miniseries "Aline", the film "Domésticas" and the telenovela "Amor à Vida", and it is rented out for parties and events. The 2016 exhibition marking the building's 60th year gathered early drawings alongside objects and images lent by residents.
