The building’s design is an exploration based on the traditional housing complexes and typologies of del Valle neighborhood in Mexico City; an urban layout where the street blocks feature pan coupé corners that create broad intersections.

Caption Inside the scheme, the apartments are organized in such a way that there is no “back apartment”. The latter is possible through the combination of single and duplex typologies that have a relation towards the interior patios and gardens but... More

This project received an honorable mention in the Mexico’s city Biennial Architecture, it is located in a land with two opposite roads, Viaducto Miguel Alemán and Obrero Mundial street.

These forms are represented with metallic sills that communicate the cuttings on the floor and bar, going up to the wall and ending in the light boxes of the plafond.   We created different acc...

Everything begins with the premise of solving a set of dwellings in the same area, following the challenge of reflecting on the different ways of inhabiting the human being; This proposal arises by challenging the boundaries between public and private areas, their interior and their transition spaces tha...
