The Corporate Garden Jardim Paulista, a sustainable building for Link School of Business, impresses with its innovative and distinctive design integrated with nature. Launched at the end of last year, the 9,600 sqm building has more than privileged views of Ibirapuera Park and provides students with the best experience of the campus and the city of São Paulo.
Project Name: Link School of Business
Studio Name: Perkins&Will
Location: São Paulo, Brazil
Completion Date: 2024
Size: 9,600 sqm
Surrounded by vegetation and naturally lit, the 8-story building establishes a special connection with its surroundings, intensified by the garden-balconies that bridge the gap between exterior and interior, in a symbiosis between nature and the built environment.
While classrooms, administrative spaces, collaborative and concentration areas occupy its perimeter – making the most of the views, ventilation and light –, the central circulation axis connects the floors as an invitation to occupy the spaces, more than just a simple passage. The business and technology college also has laboratories, a café and an outdoor terrace on its roof.
As a reflection of the institution’s practical and innovative approach, the interior design values the truth and efficiency of materials, with exposed concrete pillars, large glass panels and vinyl coverings in elegant and timeless compositions.
