Kaiserstraße redefines urban housing by blending the privacy and richness of a house - verandas, courtyards, vegetation - with the advantages of vertical living. Located on a historic avenue once lined with villas, its stepped, sculpted form meets strict setback rules while maximizing light, ventilation, and panoramic views. Each apartment occupies a full floor with terraces, private pools, and integrated planters that allow mature trees to grow from the slabs, turning the façade into a living vertical garden, enhancing biodiversity and the street’s microclimate.
Bio At Alencar we create spaces that dialogue with people and with the environment, respecting the past and imagining futures that can be lived with empathy, balance and connection.
We are passionate about building more than buildings. We design encounters, exchanges, and experiences that resonate beyond forms and structures.
Every detail of our work reflects the search for innovative, conscious and profoundly human solutions. We believe that each choice made with purpose and shaped by empathy has the power to transform not only space, but the lives of the people who inhabit it.
