Cube XL: Modern Townhouses for Well-Located Neighborhoods

A Unique Design Concept by Beto Magalhaes

With a concept focused on the standardization of projects and building solutions, the Cube XL project was created from the Cube project, a plant proposal fully adaptable to small land. A large city such as Sao Paulo, where land is highly valued and rare for horizontal real estate projects, having a solution that easily adapts to geographical conditions and tree existence makes the project viable on small land where approval restrictions exist. The Cube XL project is designed to use these lands in heavily wooded neighborhoods, incorporating a modern and innovative design and safety concept.

With an innovative construction model, Open Space Design, where all the internal walls are not structural, allowing to open everything, 2 or 3 bedrooms. With Flexchoice, you have options to make the ground floor as you wish. A parking space, a gourmet space, a hot tub, an office at home or another guest room. On the top floor is the Cubetop, it can be a gourmet space with a solarium with whirlpool or simply a balcony to enjoy the view. With an app installed on your smartphone, you can have full access control by navigating the cameras and triggering the gates remotely, with low cost of operation.

The Cube XL project was developed as a variation of the Cube project seeking standardization with the aim of reducing costs, time and quality increase and especially the exploitation of constrained land and the existence of many trees. House sizes range from 250 square meters to 400 square meters. The design method used allows the adaptation of the dimensions in the longitudinal and transverse direction according to the size of the land and the tree locations where the condominium will be.

With the use of design, concept and technology, the Cube XL project aims to remodel the concept of housing in condominiums of houses in major centers like Sao Paulo. By incorporating modern architectural design and security solutions, the project addresses the lack of concern for design and environmental preservation in existing condominiums. The Cube XL project utilizes well-located plots with small dimensions and a significant presence of mature trees, providing residents with a secure, modern, and environmentally conscious living environment.

The first Cube XL project is scheduled for construction in April 2020 in the Jardim Guedala neighborhood of Sao Paulo. It will feature 8 residential units ranging from 250 to 350 square meters, spread across 3 and 4 floors, with each unit having 4 parking spaces. Other Cube projects are also underway in Sao Paulo, with completion expected by the end of 2020.

The Cube XL project was developed based on the Cube project, which was awarded at the A'Design Awards 2019. It aims to offer residents the freedom to live as they wish in open environments and configurable living spaces, while also providing quality of life in prestigious and wooded areas of major cities like Sao Paulo.
