ELEMENTAL MONTERREY
ELEMENTAL Monterrey consists of a three-story continuous
building that in section superimposes a home (first floor) with a two-story apartment above (2nd and 3rd story). Both units are designed to technically and economically facilitate the final middle class standard of which we will hand over the ?first half? (40 m2).
In this sense, the difficult components of the house to construct (bathrooms, kitchen, stairs, and dividing walls) are designed for the expanded scenario, that is, for a home of more than 58 m2 approx. and an apartment of approximately 76 m2.
Secondly, given that almost 50% of the m2 of the complex
will be self-built, this building is porous so that the growth can occur within the structure. On one hand we want to frame and give rhythm (more than control) to the spontaneous construction so as to avoid deterioration of the urban environment over time, and also make the process of expansions for each family easier. The proposed continuous
roof above the volumes and voids protects the expansion zones from rain and ensures a definitive profile of the building toward the public space.
Third, experience tells us that in lower class neighborhoods the
green spaces tend to be ?earth spaces,? due to the scarcity of
maintenance and the distance that exists between green space and the home that makes it difficult for neighbors to take care of. What we did in this case was to surround the green space with building, reducing the distance between communal space and the home to a minimum. This permitted us to define a collective space with secure Access that gives space to the social network and generates favorable conditions for
maintenance and care. All the apartments have direct access from the public space and parking, a condition especially relevant in a country where every family can have access to an automobile.
