Edifício Japurá, Residential building in Bela Vista, São Paulo, Brazil
The Japurá Building contains 288 apartments spread across 14 floors, with a total area of 28,248 square meters in central São Paulo.
Eduardo Kneese de Mello designed this residential complex in 1945 as the first Brazilian application of Le Corbusier's unité d'habitation concept.
The building replaced former tenements in the Bexiga valley area, marking a transition from collective housing to modern urban residential development.
Located at 55-129 Japurá Street, the structure features commercial spaces on the ground floor and residential units connected by glass-enclosed bridges.
The building introduced duplex apartments with rationalized spaces, incorporating public areas and a rooftop garden following modernist principles.
