The SESC’s in Sao Paulo work towards providing social services for those working in commerce, however, ages 12-18 do not have access to these social amenities.
Our project aim to provide educational facilities, culture, sports facilities, a boarding school, places of repose as well as skill-based workshops for youths.
The street and public space continues throughout the former theatre up to the fourth floor, which acts as the meeting & merging space for the public, youth, and residents of the social housing.
We have kept the current hotel layout but extending the circulation, letting it act as the new street for all residents. This also allows for vertical and horizontal meeting spaces as well as views.
By extending the circulation to the old lighting shafts, the apartments become bigger. This gives the possibility to provide private outdoor space either to the street, or to the new cirulcation.
The project tackles questions regarding the role of the bedroom where variations to the existing hotel rooms have been tested, concluding ’The more people the higher the bed’.
