Today Faria Lima is a project for Canopus Construtora, located in Vila Olímpia, São Paulo. The building has a mixed-use solution with blocks arranged side by side, and the identity of each block is clear in the differentiation of uses. The design distinguishes between uses by organizing residential and corporate areas into separate volumes with independent entrances, both accessed from the same street — Rua Quatá. The corporate block, clad in a glass skin, faces Rua Quatá, with visibility from Avenida Faria Lima — a well-known corporate hub. The corporate volume offers a total of 4,013m² of gross leasable area. The development stands as a strategically located mixed-use building, integrated into the urban context through a permeable ground floor and street-facing retail spaces.
The other block, the residential one, which is taller and has a textured finish, has access also from Rua Quatá, thus facing the inner part of the neighborhood, which has a more residential character with services and conveniences catering to residents. The residential tower, with 24 floors, includes 366 units ranging from 25m² to 32m², as well as leisure areas distributed across different levels — including an elevated pool on the 19th floor with panoramic views of the city.
