Located in Polanco, one if not the most exclusive neighborhood in Mexico City, this residential project holds 4 apartments, one per floor.
The project aligns with the local urban normativity which mandates a three-meter restriction from the street on the first three levels plus another three meters on the fourth floor. Finally, the normativity mandates an extra meter at the front on one of the sides of the plot. Taking this in consideration, the front limits of the building create an imaginary zig zag line that goes deeper into the plot from left to right. We decided to draw a diagonal line based on this zig zag, shifting the façade against the traffic flow of the street giving a sense of welcoming to the approaching cars and pedestrians.
The building consists of a semi basement where the garage and lobby are situated.
Each of the first three floors hold a 200 square meter apartment with three bedrooms, three walk-in closets, a guest restroom, living /dining room, and a kitchen with the capability of being integrated or closed to the rest of the space depending on the situation through huge walnut sliding doors.
Finally, the fourth floor contains a two-bedroom apartment which, due to the fourth level restriction counts with a huge terrace overlooking the treetops on the street and a view of the skyline of Paseo de la Reforma, the most busy and highrised filled avenue on the city.
The brick cladding and steel beams on the façade create a low maintenance yet interesting choice of materials that will ensure an elegant and timeless aging to the building.
All photos were taken by Daniel Alonso (dane.alonso@gmail.com) and the furniture such as chairs, sofas and flower pots were provided by Manuel Muñoz Gómez Gallardo MRSS, a Mexican designer and artist.
Wood floors, ceramic floors, marble and bathroom fixtures provided by Porcelanosa.
