Oscar Freire Office

aflalo/gasperini arquitetos as Architects

Located on the same block as the Oscar Freire metro station, the project integrates commercial and residential uses through an access boulevard next to Rebouças, creating an atmosphere of a square, full of trees, integrated into the city. This space protects the Alameda Jardins residential building from the avenue, but with a large presence on Rua Chabbad, a street with a more residential vocation. The Oscar Freire Office commercial building marks its presence along Avenida Rebouças and its 8-story scale harmonizes with the scale of the access square.

The language of the commercial building explores a simple volume that is marked by side plates covered in white glass and screen-printed, featuring a minimalism that guarantees identity to the proposed volume.

The contemporary mixed-use concept, with a semi-public boulevard and storefronts along the sidewalks guarantee vitality to the project and the neighborhood; as well as the presence of gardens and noble materials bring design and elegance to the project.
