Located to the East of Mexico City, within a popular neighborhood of the city such as Agrícola Oriental, this apartment building rises. The project consisted of rehabilitating an existing house, within an area with an 8 meter front to the public road and 20 meters deep, as a recycling strategy that seeks to promote the generation of decent housing in this area.

The project has a constructed area of ​​375 m2 and is made up of six apartments ranging from 38 to 70 square meters, distributed in two blocks linked by a core of vertical circulations that connects the apartments, as well as a patio that allows a better ventilation and lighting within the complex. Each body is divided into three levels.

In order to be able to satisfy the diverse needs of the users, the decision was made to organize the building in different typologies. Two apartments are distributed on two levels, where the social area (kitchen, living room) is located on the first level, while the private area, made up of bedrooms and bathrooms, is located on the second level. The remaining four departments are arranged on one level.

Within the premises proposed in the project, we decide to generate a facade with a simple and aesthetic character, with the aim of integrating itself into the urban context of the area, for which part of the original facade was preserved, thus preserving the privacy of the departments of the exterior volume from the first level to the last related to the street. An enclosure grid is integrated into the facade, as well as a series of planters that allow creating a barrier that houses a balcony for the first apartment. Being able to have terraces and balconies in the project allowed to enhance the visuals, giving the possibility of relating and complementing the exterior.
