CPH — A New Centrality for Penha, SC
The CPH is more than an architectural project; it is a milestone in the urban transformation of the city of Penha, on the Santa Catarina coast. Conceived as a major centrality, this large development combines residential and commercial use, creating a vibrant space that connects people, community, and nature. It reflects Alencar's commitment to Possible Futures to designing futures that integrate functionality, beauty, and social impact.
At the heart of the project is the ground floor, a free, large and pulsating space designed to house businesses, services and living areas. It is a place designed to promote meetings, to welcome not only the residents of the building, but also the neighborhoods and visitors. The ground floor, with its visual and physical permeability, invites people to connect with one another, while vegetation carefully integrated into the urban environment adds a sense of freshness and well-being. This is a space where the city breathes, where the sidewalk merges with everyday life, promoting an experience of belonging and interaction.
The residential building, in turn, elevates the living experience to a new level. With privileged views of the city and the coastline, each unit was designed with intelligent layouts, providing functionality and comfort. At the top of the first block, the leisure area offers a unique perspective of the city skyline and beaches, allowing residents to contemplate the sunset in an environment designed for relaxation and conviviality. This space is more than a common area; it's a place to create memories, to bring people together and to appreciate the natural beauty that surrounds Penha.
The architecture of CPH is marked by the harmony between contemporaneity and local identity. Every detail has been carefully planned to respect the surroundings and, at the same time, highlight the building as a symbol of innovation and urban integration. The use of greenery in the common areas, the accessible and inviting ground floor design, and the functionality of the residential spaces reflect the core values of Alencar Possible Futures: creating architecture that transforms, inspires, and connects.
The CPH is, above all, an architectural manifesto that celebrates community life. It redefines the concept of living and living together, promoting a deep connection between urban space and the people who inhabit it. It's a clear example of how architecture can be a catalyst for positive change, bringing new possibilities and creating futures that everyone wants to live in.
