Best Implemented Project of Residential or Mixed-Use Estate
About the project
The project is planned on a 292m2 triangular-shaped piece of land in a busy corner of CDMX where the aim is to recover a property that was left empty after the 2017 earthquake.
The objective of the project was to try to have regular spaces within a rather small and irregularly shaped piece of land. For this, 3 1-bedroom apartments between 70 and 75 m2 per level were accommodated.
Something fundamental in the design was that all the spaces were well ventilated and illuminated, but trying not to have too wide openings due to the noise of the road that adjoins the building. The facades of the building were designed in a modular way based on brown concrete walls, ensuring that all interior spaces have open views of the city. To give more play to the façade, alternate balconies were left, which help to give greater amplitude to the interior spaces and in turn give more privacy through metal plate railings.
