Sampaio Moreira Building, Eclectic architecture building in Central Zone of São Paulo, Brazil
The Sampaio Moreira Building rises 54 meters high with 13 floors, featuring Louis XVI-style decorations and Carrara marble staircases on Líbero Badaró street.
Constructed between 1920 and 1924, this structure marked the beginning of São Paulo's metropolitan phase as the city's first skyscraper until the Martinelli Building surpassed it.
The building houses Casa Godinho, a grocery store established in 1890, which received recognition as intangible cultural heritage of São Paulo in 2013.
The building underwent extensive renovation works, incorporating metal walkways between blocks and modern infrastructure while maintaining its original architectural elements.
The restoration project added a 400-square-meter cultural square for events, connecting different sections through a neighboring building with restored façade.
