In addition to provide unique identity to space, the square garden is integrator of ground floors of the towers by sliding and transparent frames that unify the inside and outside. This interaction describes the proposal and weakens the boundaries between inside and outside.

The prismatic volumes of the towers is a result of design in rings formed by the balconies around the buildings perimeter, to offer better use of the skyline view (next to Ibirapuera Park) of the apartments ( one per floor).

The project follows the concepts of sustainability (Green Buildings): Water quality control of drained rainwater reduces consumption on site for irrigation by 50%. Energy is saved due tomore efficient lighting systems, elevators and equipment.

While the inner part opens up predominantly on the right side, in the second type, the apartment internal divisions is a little different. The balconies are at the end of the volumes, while the intimate and service areas are concentrated on the opposite corner.

On the ground the intention was to establish a direct relationship with the courtyard, whilst in the penthousesthe highlight is the relationship with the city skyline. On the top of the first tower there is a triplex penthouse apartment distributed in social, intimate from lower to the upper floor, while in the other tower on the top there is a duplex penthouseapartment, whose lower floor is for the intimate area and the upper social and leisure. Praca Vila Novaresulted fromthe care with the direct surroundings (patio) and distant (skyline), in addition to sustainability in contemporary architecture.
