Work - Part 1

The concept that I used for the design process was the “pixel”.  The project started with a cube that was distorted into more and more little cubes unitil I got the building’s final form.  the project is based in 3 different profiles:  the first one is the public area: It is located on the ground floor (Gallery and Restaurant), the second one is the first house: It is focused on a small family and the last one is the second house: It is focused on a single man or woman.  There are 8 floors: 2 floors for the gallery and the restaurant, 3 floors for the first house, 1 floor for the terrace, and 2 floor for the second house.  The main idea for the face’s form was to uas a Mexican image (in this case it was an image of a “reboso”) and pixelate it.

The primary idea for this project is to merge two houses to make a functional space based on six floors for the houses (2nd to 7th) and the first floor that is planned to be a music store.  Each house is to have enough privacy and it’s planned that in certain points of the construction they are crossed into what makes an interesting space for the users.  Also the spaces are made to take advantage of the view to the project that is going to be constructed in front of this one.

Dividing house

This is a building between two buildings; it is located in the downtown of México city. The building has two houses and a coffee shop. The first house is for a couple and a kid and the second one is for a single person. The two houses share the fourth level; both of them have double height and a roof garden. The coffee shop its in the first two levels; it also has a double height and it has a capacity for 32 people.
