Milton Mitidieri's House (deceased)

Casa Niemeyer originated from a project designed by Oscar Niemeyer in the 1960s, during the construction of Brasília. At that time, Niemeyer met Milton José Mitidieri, a civil engineer responsible for the works of the Chapel and the Itamaraty Palace. As a gesture of friendship, Niemeyer gifted Mitidieri with this house design, which remained shelved until 1970, when construction finally began.

The Mitidieri family — Milton, his wife Edith Lanfranchi, and their children Marcelo, Sérgio, Ana, and Milton — moved into the house in 1974. Edith was the last resident, living there until 2012, when she relocated to a nearby apartment.

In order to preserve this unique architectural work in São Paulo, the Mitidieri children decided to give the residence a new purpose, hosting events — preferably corporate — for companies that value the cultural and historical importance of the site and are committed to its careful preservation. In recent years, numerous events have been held there, offering participants a unique and immersive experience.

Nestled amid lush greenery in the Alto de Pinheiros neighborhood, this iconic residence is the only house designed by Oscar Niemeyer in the city of São Paulo. Built with exposed concrete and glass, and defined by its generous curves, the house celebrates natural light and embodies timeless modernism. The expansive living area is fluid and open, its soft, curvilinear forms creating a welcoming atmosphere. The circular dining room and the iconic wooden ramp that gently connects the floors are distinctive elements of surprise and elegance.

In the private wing, five bedrooms — including a master suite — are arranged within spaces where light is subtly filtered through cobogó screens. With approximately 600 square meters of built area on a 1,800-square-meter plot, Casa Niemeyer unites comfort, functionality, and a beauty that transcends time, standing as a singular testament to Niemeyer’s architectural legacy in São Paulo.
