Espaço Núcleo Pulso Therapy and Dance Space in São Paulo, Brazil by 23 SULFebruary 3rd, 2019 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: 23 SUL Espaço Núcleo Pulso is a body awareness and therapeutic space in the center of São Paulo. The institution is located on the last floor of a tall building, hosting different sorts of activities. The teacher and psychologist Mariana Camarote – head of Espaço Núcleo Pulso – wanted to implement different spaces for individual personal therapy and group activities, as well as corporal expression dynamics, related to Body Movement in Brazil. The concept of the refurbishment design was to transform a typical open-space office without subdivisions and modular mineral lining with a low-ceiling challenge, into a space that could host the main hall among the rest of the program: a waiting area, a dressing room which eventually became the gateway to the main hall – a decompression and transition space –, an office for individual therapies, kitchen, two toilets and individual locker rooms.

In order to accomplish this specific need, a noise abatement system with vibration-absorbing bulkheads has been implemented. The elevated floor, capable of absorbing impacts and sounds – as well as the use of foam plates between the slabs of the ribbed concrete slab. These elements were painted in black to serve as an infinite background for the wooden structure beneath the ceiling, inspired by Japanese wood handling, which reinforces the rigidity of the constructive axes of the window frames, in contrast with the flatness and homogeneity of the bamboo flooring the dance floor.
