Text description provided by the architects. International architecture firm Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF) is pleased to announce the completion of Infinity Tower. Located in São Paulo’s new financial district, steps away from Faria Lima, this unique, next‐generation building sets a new standard for Class‐ A office in the Brazil market and has already attracted world‐class attention.

这座大楼被南美房地产社区誉为“建筑偶像”，它优雅地矗立在周围120米的高空，与圣保罗的天际线形成了独特的形象。这座建筑的动态聚集，在本质上是航海性的，让人想起一艘帆船在全帆下航行。

Heralded as an "Architectural Icon” by the South American real estate community, the tower rises elegantly some 120 meters above its surroundings to establish a unique identity against the São Paulo skyline. The dynamic massing of the building, nautical in nature, is reminiscent of a schooner running under full sail.

负责该项目设计的威廉·路易(William Louie)表示：“在圣保罗密集的城市环境中，声称自己在法里亚利马海岸停泊的隐喻船的概念是一个独特而有力的形象。”

“The concept of the metaphorical ship tacking to claim its berth on the shores of Faria Lima is a distinct and powerful image within the dense urban context of São Paulo,” according William Louie, who led the design of the project.

这座建筑的“帆”优雅地用玻璃幕墙系统的两条横扫曲线包裹着每一层，并突出了外部的“亮丽太阳光”鳍，以控制阳光和眩光。立面的曲率改善了工作环境，提供了城市的广阔全景景观，而每层楼板随着塔楼的上升而增大，以最大限度地增加上层的租赁收入。私人阳台从两条曲线的两端都延伸开来，提供了北部的Avenida Paulista和南部的Faria利马的生动景色。

The building’s ‘sails’ gracefully wrap each level with two sweeping curves of a glass curtain wall system, highlighted by exterior ‘brise soleil’ fins to control sunlight and glare. The curvature of the façade enhances the work environment and provides broad panoramic views of the city, while each floor plate increases in size as the tower rises to maximize leasing revenue at the upper levels. Private balconies extend from each end of both curves and afford dramatic views of Avenida Paulista to the north and Faria Lima to the south.

在它的基础上，这座建筑通过室内室外进入体验与城市环境相连，这种体验利用了圣保罗温和的气候，并提供了从这个世界第六人口最多的城市安静的过渡。一个微妙的挂毯反射池，阴影人行道，美化地区和一个天篷覆盖的廊子-耳道，导致了大楼的主要大厅，它被水包围，并通过两座桥梁。大厅本身是优雅的定义高，弯曲的玻璃墙和丰富的材料调色板，精心挑选的巴西花岗岩和库马鲁木材。

At its base, the building connects to its urban context through an indoor‐outdoor entry experience that capitalizes on São Paulo’s temperate climate and offers a quiet transition from the world’s sixth most populous city. A subtle tapestry of reflecting pools, shaded walkways, landscaped areas and a canopy covered porte‐cochere lead to the building’s main lobby, which is surrounded by water and accessed across two bridges. The lobby itself is gracefully defined by a high, curving glass wall and rich material palette featuring carefully selected Brazilian granites and Cumaru wood.

这座建筑的美丽与其世界级的功能相匹配。与许多邻居不同，这座18层楼高的塔楼达到了圣保罗允许的最大建筑面积，同时也为各种类型的租户提供了灵活性和效率。无限大厦拥有三米高的楼顶和高性能的玻璃，最大限度地利用自然光线和景观、最先进的技术、划时代的标识、独特的入口体验以及每一比例的细节和质量，为巴西市场设置了一个新的基准，国际建筑标准与纽约等其他国际城市的标准相匹配或超过了这些标准，伦敦和香港。

The building’s beauty is matched by its world‐class functionality. In contrast to many of its neighbors, the 18‐story tower achieves the maximum floor area that São Paulo allows, while also providing flexibility and efficiency for a variety of tenant types. With three‐meter floor‐to‐ceiling heights and highperformance glass that maximize access to natural light and views, state‐of‐the‐art technology, a landmark identity, a distinct entry experience, and quality of detail and finish at every scale, Infinity Tower sets a new benchmark for the Brazilian market with international building standards matching or exceeding those of other global cities such as New York, London, and Hong Kong.
