LIVUNO is a residential development located in a corner area of the Colonia Juarez zone, close to the historic center of Mexico City.

The building program consists of 24 residential units offering three kinds of accommodation: apartments of varied sizes, townhouses and penthouses. The Townhouses have small private gardens at the back with large sliding windows from floor-to-ceiling, to integrate interior-exterior. The Apartments have been designed with open layouts, permitting alternative usage and flexibility, range from 1 to 2 bedrooms, with balconies that generates different perspective towards the street. And the Penthouses with private gardens and roof terrace have 3 bedrooms in three levels, ideal for a complete family to live in.

The Roof Garden with its fine green areas, offers to the users a place of encounter and coexistence. This area unfolds at sight, a proposal varied of vegetal species, from succulent plants inlaid in pieces of concrete block, to trees with fruit generating small urban orchards. A new conception of the opened space, allows offering spaces of rest, recreation and community. The front green roofs of 300 m2, helps reduce the urban heat island effect ass well to capture the rainwater for its reuse.

In the interior, the design of the units exposes the texture and natural color of its materials, to generate an atmosphere with a natural expression. The separation of dry and wet areas and the selection of wood and granite as the finish for each emphasize and enhance the specific use.
