Casarão de Nhonhô Magalhães, Elite mansion in Higienópolis, São Paulo, Brazil
The mansion extends over 2,300 square meters across five floors, featuring French architecture with Belgian stained glass windows and Murano glass mosaics.
Carlos Leôncio Magalhães commissioned this residence in 1927, but passed away in 1931 before its completion, leaving his widow and children as the first inhabitants.
The mansion includes a private theater for 30 spectators and a chapel inspired by the Jerónimos Monastery of Lisbon, reflecting Brazilian elite lifestyle.
The property now operates as an event venue with capacity for 200 guests, while its lower floor houses Paço das Artes, offering free cultural exhibitions.
During restoration, workers uncovered seven layers of paint to reveal the original colors of the walls and architectural details from the 1930s.
