These mobile elements contribute both to environmental performance, through solar and ventilation regulation, and to the building\u2019s visual identity, as their movement alters the facade\u2019s appearance depending on time of day and viewing angle.<\/p>\n<p>all images by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pedromascaro.com.br\/\">Pedro Mascaro<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">Figueira Leopoldo Reimagines High-Rise Living Through Openness<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Standing 115 meters tall, the building contains 32 residential units, including garden and duplex apartments. The structure is organized to promote openness and spatial flexibility, with floor plans designed to accommodate multiple configurations. Large openings enhance cross-ventilation and daylight access, while interior gardens introduce greenery and natural materials into the living spaces, reinforcing comfort and connection with nature. To maximize efficiency and views, the tower is divided into two functional zones, social and service areas, allowing uninterrupted 360\u00b0 perspectives in living spaces. The ground level extends this openness to the urban fabric, where a stone and wood base combined with landscaped areas establishes a visual and physical connection between the building and the street.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Common spaces include landscaped gardens, a lounge, a playroom, a swimming pool, a spa, and a fitness center, with interiors designed by Carlos Rossi and landscaping by Benedito Abbud. Native plant species were selected to enhance environmental integration and reduce maintenance needs. Each apartment is provided with four parking spaces, with garden and duplex units featuring an additional spot.
