Condomínio Edifício Paulicéia e São Carlos do Pinhal
Condomínio Edifício Paulicéia e São Carlos do Pinhal, Modernist apartment complex in Bela Vista District, São Paulo, Brazil.
Description
Condomínio Edifício Paulicéia e São Carlos do Pinhal is a residential complex featuring two interconnected towers running along Avenida Paulista, each rising 23 stories with glass facades, polished wooden elements, and tile cladding. The dual structure houses numerous apartments across both buildings with shared modern amenities and circulation spaces.
History
Jacques Pilon and Gian Carlo Gasperini designed and built this project between 1956 and 1959, establishing it as an early example of modern residential architecture in São Paulo. Its construction marked the beginning of Avenida Paulista's transformation from a purely residential street into a mixed-use urban corridor.
Culture
The complex takes its name from two significant streets in the area and represents how residential towers became part of Avenida Paulista's identity. Walking past it today, you can see how the neighborhood transformed from a quiet residential zone into a lively mix of old and modern structures.
Practical
The complex sits directly on Avenida Paulista, one of the city's main streets, making it easy to reach by public transportation. Keep in mind that this is a private residential area where access depends on the residents' willingness to allow visits.

Roberto Burle Marx, one of Brazil's most influential landscape architects, designed the grounds surrounding the building. These carefully planned green spaces provide a peaceful contrast to the bustling urban environment of Avenida Paulista.
