Almagah 227
Rua Airi 227, Tatuapé, São Paulo, Brasil
Almagah 227 is part of the Eixo Platina, a masterplan developed by Porte Engenharia e Urbanismo in collaboration with Königsberger Vannucchi. It aims to meet the growing demand for corporate and commercial spaces near residential areas in São Paulo’s East Zone. The project seeks to reduce daily commute times for work, study, and leisure, minimizing traffic impact and enhancing quality of life in the region.
As part of the Eixo Platina, Almagah 227 is a mixed-use complex composed of two towers—one residential and one commercial—both clad in a ventilated façade of brown porcelain. The towers are connected by a fully glazed, two-story bridge and a glazed base. The overall volumetry is designed to both link and distinguish the volumes, allowing them to be recognized as autonomous yet integrated architectural elements.
At the base, commercial spaces wrap around the entire complex, creating a strong interface with the sidewalk and complemented by gardens and other urban amenities that promote a livelier, more diverse cityscape. The complex includes ground-floor retail, corporate office floors, and extended-stay residential units with hotel services. This configuration reflects the masterplan’s goals: to transform local life through high-quality, multifunctional urban infrastructure—particularly by introducing workspaces to São Paulo’s most densely populated region, where they are currently lacking.
