Las Flores Apartments

m²: 850
Location: Mexico City
Type: Comission
Colaborator: Jorge Arteaga
Year: 2009

This project involved the transformation of a 1940s house into five refurbished apartments. The program required that they have the appearance of a uniform project but function as two separate and independent buildings. All the apartments would share the common garden. The challenge was to unify in a single expression two completely independent and separate projects. In order to alter the volumes boring flatness and mimic the mountains lying in the background, the vertices were raised randomly to produce a wrinkled surface that unites the two buildings.
