Ramos de Azevedo – most famous architect in 20’s – had planned a french style house in a street - that we know as Avenida Paulista - for his daughter Lucia; she lived there with her family, then her son. However, Ramos couldn’t see the project of his house ended, because he died seven years before it in June 12, 1928. The construction was ended by Felisberto Ransini.
In 1986, the government of São Paulo inappropriate the house when in 1985 it was considered a patrimony. The house passed for a restauration in the same year until 1991. Then it opened by Department of Culture as a cultural space and it called Casa das Rosas.
In 2004, it was reopened because in last year it passed for a reform, now Casa das Rosas has a new mission: a place for literature and cultural events . Each two months the house have some classes for writers and who is interest in literature, musical events, plays, etc. The house is open to visit, you can enter and see how beautiful it is. I took some photos there and I assure you it seems back in time. Look inside house and see, think what kind of reason Ramos had to planned it or who lived there, how they lived. Each place in house you can see, admire and think that anything wouldn’t possible without people dreaming a dream. This house was a dream, particular dream indeed but now, it is used for visit, know and why not dream something like this!
You’re our guest and you’ll be welcome.
