Vertiz 950 is a housing project with 27 units located in Mexico City on an irregular site of 6,500 square feet, with a street front of only 32 feet. The building has six floors and a basement.The basement and first floor are designated for parking and the lobby, and the last 5 floors are for housing, with 27 apartments in total.

The most challenging aspect of the project was to make the most of the site which has difficult proportions. To achieve this, the architects designed 13 different typologies that adjust to the site in different ways so that they could make the most of the space. The first step was to give the project a central and generous patio that could provide great lighting and ventilation to all the apartments. To reduce the horizontal circulations, they designed duplex apartments which helped reduce up to 70% of the space used by the hallways. Typologies vary from 667 to 1,230 square feet, adjusting to different markets. The penthouse apartments, although they are the smallest in size, have a private roof garden that duplicated its surface.

The project is divided into two towers connected by bridges and a shared central patio. A lobby is located on the first floor that directly communicates with the elevator. Every space in the apartments (rooms, kitchen, and bathrooms) has natural ventilation and illumination. The central patio has a six-story green wall giving privacy to the building as well as providing a fresh view to the apartments which are located in a central and noisy neighborhood of Mexico City.

To give certain privacy to the rooms of the apartments, a double façade made by Hunter Douglas was used. This façade gives great lighting to the inside and at the same time it provides privacy from outsiders looking in. This façade also works as handrails when it reaches the hallways above the rooms.
