Escritório Faria Lima GK / Felipe SS Rodrigues

GK Partners is a positive impact investment firm that seeks minority stakes, with governance, in established and growing companies in the people development, healthcare equity, and climate action sectors. Located in the Capitânia Building, designed by architect Pedro Paulo de Melo Saraiva, on the corner of Faria Lima and Cidade Jardim, the medium-sized building attracts tenants looking to escape mirrored or textured towers with little or no architectural culture. Although designed in 1973, the building retains timeless qualities, such as an external pillar structure to the floor plan and large windows that create large glass panels, both of which enhance user well-being before even celebrating the architectural landmark that is also recognized in the book Arquitetura moderna paulistana (São Paulo: Editora Pini, 1983) by Alberto Xavier, Carlos Lemos, and Eduardo Corona.
