Platina 220, a mixed-use building in Tatuapé, East Zone of São Paulo, and the tallest in the city — at 172 meters high and 50 floors —, is part of the Eixo Platina, an urbanization proposal with the creation of a new centrality, designed by Porte Engenharia in conjunction with Königsberger Vannucchi.
Located across from Shopping Tatuapé, the building combines several uses: shops on the ground floor, a hotel and residential units in the lower third, commercial complexes in the middle, and office buildings in the upper third. This diversity aims to attract businesses to the area and reduce residents' commutes to other areas of the capital.
Platina features a striking volume, with ventilated façade elements in light-colored porcelain. The central prismatic block, with terraces and windows arranged in varying positions, creates an effect of light and shadow, shaping the building as a monolith carved into the landscape. Side blocks in darker tones preserve the verticality and function as buttresses, highlighting the building's perceived support.
The main entrance is on Rua Bom Sucesso, where the main prism "steps" onto the ground floor. In the area surrounding the block, retail spaces create two outdoor areas: tree-lined perimeter sidewalks in the public space and private leisure areas above the stores for the building's users.
To achieve the building potential and urban benefits, all the instruments of the New São Paulo Master Plan of 2014 were used. The result is a building that seeks to requalify the region, with mixed use, active facades and interaction with the street.
